Rams' Gurley not a fan of international games: 'They need to stop this'

Todd Gurley seems to be a man of routine.

The Los Angeles Rams running back wasn't too pleased when he was asked how this week's game against the Arizona Cardinals in London impacted his schedule.

"Terrible," Gurley said, according to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. "They need to stop this, all this stuff. This London, this Mexico City stuff, it needs to stop."

Los Angeles stayed in Florida after defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday, before heading to London on Thursday.

The Rams also played in London last year and are expected to head across the pond again in 2018 and 2019. Gurley wanted to make it clear that his issue is with the schedule disruption, not the fans.

"It's cool playing over there, don't get me wrong," Gurley said. "Just more of the long week, messes up a bunch of people's schedules. I'm pretty sure y'all (the media) wanna be in y'all bed right now, too. But naw, it's all good. It'll be love. The fans over there are great."
