In the UK, the NFL has been televised for thirty years or so now, starting with highlights packages in the 1980s (when I got hooked) and moving on to what we have now which is usually four/five live games a week. The issue for us is obviously the time difference which makes the Sunday 1pm game for you (6pm here) much more attractive to watch than MNF which is around 1.30am Tuesday morning.
If you take an International Series game, you'll see shirts from nearly all the NFL teams - Pats are the most popular I think (possibly a 'New' England link there) and the other SB winning teams draw a lot of support. There are a fairly large number of Bengals followers about too. You don't see many Chiefs, Browns, Bucs, Cardinals or Falcons shirts around (or at least I haven't).
Thanks for the response. It's kinda sucks that the sport isn't growing at high rate like Basketball and Hockey are in Europe ( not so much in UK). The only info I really can get about the growth of the sport is from IFAF and their very slanted.
