    I really think people overreact to how traveling effects NFL players.

    These guys travel weekly and have been since highschool or college. I don't think few extra hours on a plane is a big deal to people who are on a plane at least twice a week.

    Plus, it's not like they hop off the plane at the stadium with their pads and helmets on and go at it...they're there at least a day ahead of the game and sometimes more for longer trips.

    The furthest the Titans usually fly would be a game in California, from Nashville that's maybe a 4 hour flight at most.

    I don't necessarily think its the traveling either. I think its the time change where they travel to.
    A couple hours can make a difference, in this case though, instead of Tennessee just jumping 2 hours, they jump 5(?) to London and LA has to travel 8.
    So both teams will have the same issues with travel and hopefully Tennessee being a little closer helps, but it's neutral no matter what.

    No, but I was more referring to regular games in the states.

    But at the same time, as I said, these guys spend plenty of time traveling and I'm sure most of them have been on international flights several times over.

    The Titans plane took 3 hours to depart today...I wonder if they were on the plane waiting that whole time? If so, by the theory of being on a plane somehow makes you a worse football player, they're doomed tomorrow.

    8 hrs compared to 4 hrs makes a HUGE difference. I travel back home every year and granted I travel deeper in the South East Europe it is VERY tiring. The plus in this travel is that they dont have to switch plane to plane as I often do.
