49ers vs. Rams: Two Different Paths to Australia | We Want Winners

In this clip from We Want Winners — the San Francisco 49ers podcast on BSPN — Rod Adams and Garrett Gonzales break down the very different approaches the 49ers and Rams are taking to get to Australia for their September 10 Week 1 opener at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The 49ers are leaving Wednesday and landing Friday, giving the team nearly a full week to adjust to the 17-hour time difference before kickoff. The Rams are taking the opposite approach — flying out just a day ahead of the game and trying to stay on their U.S. body clock rather than shift it. Rod and Garrett dig into the reasoning behind each strategy.

They also zoom out to the NFL's bigger international push: league owners recently approved playing up to 10 international games per season starting in 2027 — the max allowed under the current CBA — with commissioner Roger Goodell setting a long-term goal of 16 international games a year and the league eyeing new markets like Japan. Rod and Garrett weigh in on what that growth means for teams and fans going forward.
