Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te mea ko Rānana te pou matua o te maramataka o te wā auau, kei te titiro te NFL ki tua atu o te moana ki te whakawhānui i tana hua. Ko Mexico, Canada me Haina kua whakaarohia hei waahi e whai ake nei ki te whakaari i nga keemu. 'Ko te mahi e mahia ana e matou inaianei ko te uiui, "Me pehea e whakatere ai i te kaupapa i Mexico, Canada me Haina?",' Ka kii a Mark Waller, te perehitini tuarua o te NFL ki te NFL.com. 'Koinei te wāhanga e whai ake nei, ā, kei a mātou ngā tari i ēnei whenua e toru. A muri iho, he aha ta tatou arotahi? Ki taku whakaaro kua whakatau mātou ko Brazil me Tiamana ngā mākete rohe e rua e whai ake nei, nā reira i puta mai ai te whakaaro o te Pro Bowl.' Ka hoki ngā Detroit Lions ki Wembley i te Oketopa i muri i te whiunga i ngā Falcons i reira i te tau whakamutunga. Ko ngā kaikōrero o Minnesota Vikings e whakapakari ana i a rātou i mua i te kēmu ki te Steelers i te Mahuru 2013. Ko te whakataetae whetū katoa o te tau e whai ake nei ka whakatangihia ki tana waahi tuku iho, ki Honolulu, engari kei reira nga korero ka neke ki Brazil. Ko Tiamana te mea nui o te hākinakina, engari kua uaua te NFL ki te whakatakoto i tētahi whakaaetanga tika ki ngā kamupene pouaka whakaata. I tēnei wā, i muri i ngā kēmu NFL tekau mā tahi i Wembley, e toru anō e whai ake nei i tēnei wā. Ka tākaro te New York Jets ki te Miami Dolphins i te kēmu hui tuatahi ki tāwāhi i te 4 o Oketopa. Ko te Buffalo Bills me te Jacksonville Jaguars e whakataetae ana i nga wiki e toru i muri mai me te Detroit Lions me te Kansas City Chiefs e takaro ana i te wiki i muri mai.
I te wā e whakarite ana a Rānana ki te whakatakoto i āna kēmu 12th, 13th me te 14th o te wā auau i tēnei tau, kei te titiro te NFL ki ētahi atu mākete e puta mai ana. Kua tohua a Mexico, Kanata me Haina hei waahi pea mo nga waahi o muri mai ki te manaaki i te hakinakina.
