Rams Skip Time Zone Trouble | NFL News
About this episode
The Rams are flying down under for a showdown with the 49ers in Melbourne—but they’re skipping the usual pre-game layover. Coach Sean McVay’s team is jetting in on Saturday morning (after departing Friday evening) to game, then back to LA ASAP, keeping players locked into their U.S. rhythm. It’s not about calling out the 49ers’ longer stay—it’s about what works best for his squad, potentially giving them a quicker re-acclimation for Week Two against the Giants. While the NFL pushes global expansion, teams like the Rams are navigating unique travel quirks to stay sharp.

On September 7th, the Rams are heading down under to play the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, but they're taking a different approach than there. Rivals Coach Sean McVey is planning a quick trip, aiming to minimize their time on the ground. Instead of arriving early to adjust to the time difference, like the 49ers, the Rams planted a part on what would be Friday evening for them, arriving. In Australia on Saturday, the idea is to get there, get the game done, and get back to Los Angeles as efficiently as possible. McVey emphasized that this decision is about what he believes is best for his players, based on past experiences and research. It's not about saying the 49ers method is wrong, just that the Rams are prioritizing keeping their players in a familiar rhythm and routine as much as possible. This strategy is designed to help the Rams re-acclimate quickly upon their return, potentially giving them an edge for their week 2 game against the Giants. The 49ers on the other hand will have to adjust back to American time after their longer
stay before facing the dolphins. Ultimately, the NFL is focused on expanding the game globally, and the logistical challenges for teams like the Rams and 49ers are just part of that. Bigger picture The Lee's priority is growing the sport internationally, even if it means some teams have to navigate unique travel situations. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
