When and where does the game take place?
Why is the game taking place in Munich?
A total of nine German cities had already applied to host the event in 2021. In the end, the decision was made between Munich, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf, with only the NRW state capital coming away empty-handed. Munich and Frankfurt will alternate until 2025; After Frankfurt 2023, it’s now the Bavarian capital’s turn again.
The Carolina Panthers are focusing on quarterback Bryce Young. The Panthers took him with the first pick in the 2023 draft, but he had a very difficult debut season with a weak team around him. With a better team he should now show his potential, but after a weak start to the season he was put on the bench and replaced by veteran Andy Dalton. After being injured, Young came back and led Carolina to a victory over New Orleans. He will probably be allowed to play again in Munich.
On the Giants side, quarterback Daniel Jones recently got a very expensive contract that few could understand. He also had a weak year in 2023 and is challenged. He hasn’t really been able to impress so far this season. With Malik Nabers, among other things, he was given a top receiver from this year’s draft at his side. The Giants also signed defensive end Brian Burns, who was the Panthers’ star player for a long time and will be joining his former team. But New York’s best player is defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence. “Sexy Dexy” is a candidate for the title of Defensive Player of the Year due to his outstanding performance.
