While the New England Patriots had two decades of dominance, they only played in two international games with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady leading the team.
Both of those games were in London, as New England defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-7 in 2009, and they downed the St. Louis Rams 45-7 in 2012.
In a recent episode of former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman's podcast, "Games With Names," Edelman shared a wild story from the 2012 trip that involved a future New England wideout.
"After the game, we went to some club together," Edelman said. "We usually go straight home after a football game, and you move on with your week. Well, here, our flights were all weird, so we were gonna fly out the next time... We all got to hang out after a game but in London. We go to this club, and then the Rams were at this club, and [Danny] Amendola was on the Rams at the time, so me and Amendola were cool, having a good time. I think some linemen on both teams were about to start squaring off in this club. Things got wild, and we're trying to break up a fight. Me and Danny end up going on an adventure and leaving afterwards. It was pretty crazy."
It's no surprise that all those guys filled with energy after a game and a night in an unfamiliar city didn't work out well.
