NFL Schedule 2022: 5 Teams that will travel the least during regular season
While all 32 NFL teams know all of their opponents for the 2022 NFL season and where all of their games will be played, the exact dates and times have not yet been officially released. That will change on Thursday when the entire 2022 NFL schedule is officially announced.
Each team will need to travel outside of their home stadiums for about half of their regular season games. Some teams will have to travel further than others and some of them will even venture outside the country for international games.
Here are the five NFL teams who will record the least distance traveled for their games away from home, measured by linear mileage.
#5 - Chicago Bears - 10,086 miles
The Chicago Bears, like every other team in the NFL, will play three games on the road against their divisional opponents. They will then travel south for two games against the Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys.
The remainder of the Bears' road schedule features match-ups against teams in the northeast. They will take trips to face off against the New England Patriots, New York Jets and New York Giants.
#4 - Cleveland Browns - 9,986 miles
The Cleveland Browns won't play any games outside the country or on the west coast. All but one of their non-divisional opponents away from home are located to the east of Cleveland, creating a fairly convenient travel schedule.
The Browns will head to the east coast for games against the Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins. They will also go north to play the Buffalo Bills and head south to take on the Houston Texans.
