HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Texans players are being advised by the team not to leave the hotel and not to order room service during their trip to Mexico City for Monday night’s game against the Oakland Raiders.


The game is part of the NFL’s international series and the first NFL game in Mexico City since 2005.


The Associated Press obtained a memo distributed to the team on Wednesday that included a page of information concerning the trip to Mexico, including those two rules.


A section of the memo under the heading "safety" had a bullet point with: "DO NOT leave the hotel." It was followed by a line advising players to leave all "expensive jewelry at home," not to bring large sums of money and not to use ATMs.

...and now we know why the Texans can't score on the road. (sorry, that was too easy)

It explains why they don't show up at least (since they can't leave the hotel)

I can't wait until that wall is built and solves all of these problems.

You mean trapping Brock and the Texans in their hotel in Mexico?

It sounds too dangerous to play in Mexico. They should move the game to FedEx Field but I heard it's all full of swamp water.

They should just play the game in Los Angeles. Same number of Mexicans would show up.

The Raiders should feel right at home.

I see what you did there. Those were subtle slams on Republicans and President Elect Trump.

You know what they say, Trump Trumps Libs, so feel free to sit through the national anthem....

I was just reading a different article about this and it said the Raiders didn't take any precautions or warn their players about anything. I guess they figure, "well, if you can survive in Oakland...".

Texans should've heeded the warning: Soon as they left their hotel rooms, they were brutally and repeatedly robbed.
