In addition, if a London team had a game at Seattle the NFL would likely follow the blueprint they established with the Rams.
London at <some east coast team> one week ... with the London team staying in that city after the game.
The following week London at Seattle.
And the following week the London team would have a bye.
Can't do that twice a year.
If a team is in London and they play the NFC west, that's at least two games in California or Seattle. Or Arizona, which is also 11 hours.
Can't have 2 byes.
Maybe they can play 2 combined sets of road games, with a bye following one of them. And maybe they can set it up so the first game is in the east, depending on who else is on their schedule.
To me, if you have to make special arrangements, you're admitting it's a problem you have to work around somehow. Which isn't the same as saying "no problem."
