Since they upped the number of games a season to three, then even if you remove Jacksonville from the equation, you're looking at two teams per season as potential Superbowl hosts. If they take a multi-year approach as they seem to be, then it must indeed simply be a case of having to hand over a

I'm never sure how attachments work on Google Groups, so below are some links to some screengrabs. Note that because they come from iPlayer they have an additional BBC transparent bug in the top left that doesn't appear on live broadcasts.

The reason the Chiefs are playing in London this week and gave up a home game with Detroit is that the NFL said if you want to host the Super Bowl, you have to play a game in London. No other reason.
