Last year's game between the Houston Texans and Oakland Raiders played in Mexico City generated $45 million, according to a study commissioned by the NFL.

The 27-20 victory by the Raiders was attended by 76,473 at Estadio Azteca. It was the first NFL game to be played in Mexico since the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals played in the same stadium in 2005.

The Raiders will return to Mexico City next season and host the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
