At a time when there seems to be plenty of momentum for an expanded NFL presence in England and, eventually, a team based there, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has tapped the brakes a bit.
“I think we’re getting a little bit ahead of ourselves,” Goodell told James Brown of CBS before Sunday’s Patriots-Buccaneers game at Wembley Stadium.
“It’s realistic to think that could happen some day,” Goodell said regarding the possibility of a team moving to London, “but that’s down the road.”
Earlier in the week, Goodell said that the league has “tremendous interest” in placing team in London.
