Roger Goodell addressed Kyle Shanahan’s concerns regarding the San Francisco 49ers’ upcoming game in Melbourne, Australia, emphasizing the importance of global expansion for the NFL. Shanahan previously expressed skepticism about the benefits of the long travel, but Goodell assured him that they would facilitate the experience, even offering an app to help with jet lag. The 49ers will participate in two international games in 2026, including a matchup in Mexico City. This Week 1 game against the Rams is critical for playoff tiebreakers in a competitive NFC West division.
