49ers, Rams Differ on Australia Travel

The 49ers have already begun their 16-hour flight to Melbourne, allowing extra time to adjust to the time zone before the September 10 matchup. In contrast, the Rams reportedly plan to depart on September 9, arriving less than 24 hours before kickoff, believing this delayed approach is smarter based on their experience in London last year. ipltable.lol

The NFL requires teams to build buffer time into travel plans to avoid game delays, and the Rams are cutting it as close as league rules permit as the NFL continues to expand internationally.
