NFL Sends Rams vs 49ers to Melbourne for First-Ever Australia Game
The NFL plays its first-ever regular-season game in Australia, sending the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers to Melbourne. The 49ers are away 'hosts' for a game that isn't a home matchup for either team or either fanbase. It's the league's latest international push, following London and Munich, with Melbourne reportedly paying a hosting fee for the privilege. Kickoff lands in an awkward window for American viewers.
