49ers Dominate Rams in Historic Aussie Opener | Global News

The San Francisco 49ers made history with a commanding 27-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in Australia, dazzling 100,000 fans at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Brock Purdy shined, throwing three TDs to Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson, and Deebo Samuel, while the defense smothered Matthew Stafford. Arriving a week early gave the Niners a crucial edge over the Rams, who barely had time to adjust — a factor that may have cost them. The game was more than football; it was a cultural milestone, with Aussie fans embracing the league and the 49ers winning hearts before kickoff. Stafford admitted his team was out of sync, while Myles Garrett, making his Rams debut despite knee issues, acknowledged his limitations. With the 49ers heading to Miami and the Rams facing New York next, this Aussie opener set a fiery tone for the season — proving the NFL’s global appeal and competitive fire.
