The NFL is taking a game to Melbourne, Australia, featuring the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. NFL Australia Managing Director Nathan Quinn explained the selection process, stating, “We did not select the 49ers at all.” Quinn clarified the league aimed for teams with broad appeal and strong international followings, leading to the Rams being chosen first.
