Thought I'd move this travel business to it's own topic so it's easier to find.

From NFL.com:
The Vikes will fly 10,460 air miles this season, good for 26th in the league and over 20,000 less than the Rams.
The Steelers entire road schedule is fewer miles than the 1 trip the 8 teams have to make to London this year.
Since 2002 the 2004 Ravens have had the shortest road schedule in the league when they only had to travel 2071 miles.
Meanwhile the 2014 Raiders compiled the most road miles during that time with 18,050.
And the most road miles without an international game belongs to the 2005 Raiders who logged 15,027 miles, which is only 11th most. The top 10 all have a London or Mexico City game.
Those international games are brutal and the NFL wants a permanent team in London? The closest NFL team to London is New England at 3292 miles, the furthest is the Los Angeles at 5453 miles. The furthest distance between any 2 NFL stadiums is 2723 miles between Miami and Seattle. London to Los Angeles is twice as far.
The Vikings longest road schedule was in 2013 when they had to travel 9991 miles. They had to play in London that year
. And their 2nd longest is, you guessed it, 2017 when they get to play in London again lol. 2006 was their longest road schedule without an international game when they had to travel 7314 miles. 2009 was their shortest at 5216. Hmmm so maybe it wasn't Favre?

For the second consecutive season, the Rams will log more air miles than any team in the league. The Rams will travel 32,600 miles through the air for their eight road dates and single "home" date in London, putting them just ahead of the Oakland Raiders and Arizona Cardinals.
The Rams will cover nearly five times as many miles than the Pittsburgh Steelers, whose total of 6,694 miles is the fewest in football this season.
