It took more than three months to get everything to the first NFL game in South America .

The Packers and Eagles took 10 hours and 40 minutes to reach São Paulo , Brazil , on their Boeing 777-300ER .

Eagles assistant general manager Jon Ferrari joked there were only three days since the trip became official in April that he and director of team and travel logistics Dan Ryan didn't talk about Brazil .

The NFL covered the difference between what it would cost the Packers to get to Philadelphia and the cost to fly to Brazil because it was originally an Eagles home game.

The NFL made sure that each team had the same amount of resources for the undertaking of moving the operation overseas.

A league source said it costs teams between $750,000 and $1.5 million in expenses for a typical road game.
