A little international NFL news on a Friday in late February.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers likely will be without Tom Brady for the 2022 season.
The reigning NFC South champions are going apparently have one of their home games away from Raymond James Stadium.
The report from Sports Business Journal suggests the Buccaneers will be the home team in the NFL’s first game in Germany.
News: The @Buccaneers will be the home team in the @NFL's first regular season game in Germany this fall, sources tell me. Formal announcement to come Monday. No date or opponent known yet.

While date and opponent are still to be announced — SBJ says it could come as soon as Monday — there has been speculation the foe will be the Kansas City Chiefs.
Kansas City Chiefs vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers is expected to be the first NFL game played in Munich. Nothing is official yet, but the NFL wants to make an announcement soon.
