Rams provide lay-flat beds for team flight to Australia

The Los Angeles Rams are scheduled to depart for Australia on Tuesday night ahead of their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Sean McVay confirmed that all players will have access to individual lay-flat beds on the 16-hour flight to ensure rest. The team plans to arrive in Melbourne on Thursday morning local time, with kickoff set for Friday at 10:35 a.m. at the Cricket Ground. This travel strategy mirrors the team’s approach for their previous trip to London. While the San Francisco 49ers have been in Melbourne since last week, the Rams aim to minimize their time abroad to avoid a lengthy acclimation period. Players, including Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams, indicated they are prepared for the travel requirements.
