Not all NFL schedules are created equal. The farthest distance between teams in the AFC North is only the 507 miles between Cincinnati and Baltimore. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys have to travel at least 1,360 miles to travel to each of their NFC East counterparts.
While these road trips are no longer the burden they may have once been, it’s still an exhausting process. And since we know exactly which teams will travel where to fulfill the NFL’s 2022 regular season schedule, we know who’ll be the most exhausted when it comes to away games this fall.
The process isn’t as simple as figuring out which teams are marooned the farthest from their division rivals. A rotating schedule of cross-conference opponents can mean bonus trips from coast to coast. Last year’s addition of a 17th game to the regular season means half the league’s teams have nine round-trip flights to catch instead of eight.
As a result, some teams will have quite a bit more time to spend on their tablets as they fly than others. The Seattle Seahawks in particular will log twice as many frequent flier miles compared with 11 different teams this season. Here are the five franchises who’ll travel the most and the least in 2022, per Bookies.com’s Bill Speros.
