According to Lufthansa, the jet touched down at 9:38 local time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>German sports broadcaster ran, which covered the arrival on the apron, reported that the aircraft missed the stairs and the specially laid red carpet by a few metres.

Head coach Mike Vrabel walked away with a bag of sweets from the welcome party.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Austrian football site footballR notes that this is the Patriots&rsquo; second appearance in Germany, after their game in Frankfurt in 2023.
