NFL 'evaluating the interest' from teams about playing future games in Dublin

The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Minnesota Vikings at Croke Park on Sunday. Several events will be held across Dublin this week, "giving a real sense of a mini Super Bowl coming to town".

The NFL says that it is "evaluating the interest" from teams to play a game in Ireland. The first regular season game to be played in Ireland takes place on Sunday at Croke Park when the Pittsburgh Steelers face the Minnesota Vikings. The Kansas City Chiefs, who have played in five of the last six Super Bowls, have already made their interest public. 

"The interest from clubs to play internationally keeps growing," said Gerrit Meier, managing director and head of NFL International.
