Scoring Plays
6 scores Week 1: 49ers and Rams Take the NFC West to Melbourne
Read the full recap →The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams play the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, September 10 (Friday morning local time), with the Rams as the designated home team. Los Angeles brings reigning MVP Matthew Stafford, Myles Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, and an unretired Aaron Donald. San Francisco has Brock Purdy healthy after a turf-toe-marred 2025 and added Mike Evans, but George Kittle and Nick Bosa are both working back from major injuries, and Puka Nacua's status remains tied to an open NFL conduct review.
Two rivals, one neutral site
The teams split last year's meetings, and the Rams have won four of the last five. A Friday-morning kickoff in Melbourne removes any real home-field edge.
Bosa and Kittle are both playing
Both came off the injury report on Sept. 10 and are set to play, Bosa for the first time since his torn ACL and Kittle for the first time since his January Achilles tear. Their snap counts are the open question.
Nacua is expected to play, with the review still open
McVay said on Sept. 6 he expects both Nacua and Alaric Jackson to play. The league has not ruled on either review, so a late change would thin a Rams receiving corps that also lost time to Nacua's groin injury in camp.
Pregame AI Prediction
How the prediction did
Predicted 23-27 (49ers vs Rams), final was 27-7. San Francisco won 27-7 behind three Brock Purdy touchdown passes, a clear miss on both the winner and the margin for a pick built on the Rams' healthier top-end talent.
49ers Rams The Rams have the healthier top-end talent
Stafford, Garrett and Donald are all cleared and practicing, while San Francisco's three most important non-quarterbacks are coming off Achilles, ACL and soft-tissue issues.
Purdy with Evans keeps San Francisco in it
A healthy Purdy and a true outside receiver in Evans give the 49ers enough to score against a Rams secondary that is the weaker half of the defense.
Travel and the Nacua question add variance
A 15-hour trip for both teams and an unresolved suspension for the Rams' top receiver make this less certain than the talent gap suggests.
The Rams get the edge on quarterback form and pass rush. If Nacua is suspended before kickoff, the projected margin shrinks to a field goal.
