Rams' Australia Trip: Quick Strike & Jet Lag

0:00On March 31st, in just five short months, the Los Angeles Rams kick off their season against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. The game hits on September 11 down under, but stateside fans catch it live. Thursday, September 10th at 5.35 pm. Thanks to that massive 17-hour time gap. Rams head coach Sean McVeigh is keeping travel tight, planning to roll in closer to kickoff than their rivals. The 49ers look set to touch down a full week early, while L.A. stays true to their quickstrike style. McVeigh spilled on the up and atom show, laughing that his squad moves like Seal Team 6, in and out fast, just like last year's London trip where they smoked the Jaguars 35-7. That 17-hour jet lag dwarfs the usual 3-hour coast to coast hop, or even London's 8-hour shift, so everyone's bracing for some real. Adjustment pains after that marathon flight. Whatever plan they lock in, it'll prioritize players and staff input from trainers on down.
