Tom Brady gave Germany its first taste of the NFL in 2022. Patrick Mahomes put on a show there last year.
This Sunday, Germany gets the Carolina Panthers and New York Giants, both with 2-7 records and short of star power. However, there's still an NFL buzz around Munich.
Fans wearing caps and jerseys from almost every team in the league could be seen in the center of the city on Saturday. For Germany's growing community of NFL fans, the game means a chance to spend the weekend with people who share their passion.
Among the crowds on the historic Marienplatz square were Annika and Robert Peter, from Bonn in western Germany. They're Chiefs fans who saw the team beat the Dolphins 21-14 in Frankfurt last year, and they're going to Sunday's game to experience the NFL atmosphere a second time.
"We said that even if the Chiefs aren't here now, everything that goes with the game, the experience, is something special, too," Annika Peter said. "It's a feeling of togetherness, no matter who the fans are. It's like a big family that comes together in the city to watch these games."
