The 49ers and Rams had contrasting strategies for the longest NFL road trip to Australia, with the 49ers arriving a week early to acclimate, while the Rams opted to arrive the day before. The 49ers won 27-7, prompting speculation about the effectiveness of their travel plan, though Coach Kyle Shanahan downplayed its significance, emphasizing preparation and performance. While he expressed interest in returning to Australia as a tourist, he preferred to avoid long trips for future games, favoring home games in San Francisco.
