49ers, Rams take different approaches to Australia trip

Already on a 16-hour flight to Australia, the 49ers plan to arrive seven and a half days before kickoff to adjust to Melbourne time. In contrast, the Rams are reportedly waiting until Wednesday, September 9, landing less than 24 hours before the game kicks off at 8:35 p.m. Eastern on Thursday (10:35 a.m. Friday in Melbourne).

Both teams believe their approaches are optimal. The Rams point to last year's London game against the Jaguars, where they arrived the day before and won decisively. The NFL requires teams to have buffer time in travel plans, and the Rams are cutting it as close as league rules allow. fish-roadgame.online
