Clark Hunt "very supportive" of more international games, 18-game season to facilitate that

Yahoo Sports

The NFL's push to play more games overseas, and to expand the regular season to 18 games, go hand-in-hand in the view of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt. Hunt said that by adding a game to the regular season, the NFL can increase its footprint in other countries while maintaining the same number of home games. " Growing the number of international games , that's something we're very supportive of," Hunt said, via ESPN.

"From a schedule dynamic, having 18 games would facilitate that. " The Chiefs have played four international games, in Brazil, Germany, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Hunt is among the owners who'd like to play overseas every year — without losing any home games.
