Following an ill-fated international journey to open the season, Sean McVay expressed a strong desire to avoid playing in Australia in the future. The Los Angeles Rams opted to land in Melbourne merely twenty-four hours ahead of kickoff, leaving the roster inadequate time to acclimate across seventeen time zones.
The resulting fatigue contributed to a lopsided 27-7 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers.
Speaking on Thursday, McVay jokingly compared his mindset to the memory-erasing device in the movie Men in Black, noting that he aims to look ahead rather than dwell on the blowout. While the head coach hoped his comments would keep the franchise from returning Down Under, Los Angeles shares local NFL international marketing rights alongside the Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, and Las Vegas Raiders, leaving open the possibility that the league could designate another club for future matchups.
