The NFL is kicking off its regular season in Australia for the first time ever, with the Los Angeles Rams battling the San Francisco 49ers. It’s a huge NFC West matchup in Week 1, and you gotta wonder if both these teams are still thinking about the Seattle Seahawks who ended their postseason runs last year. Yeah, that’s right, both the Rams and 49ers made it to the playoffs last season, only to have their seasons cut short by *our* Seahawks.
Divisional Rivals Looking for Early Wins (But Still Remembering the Hawks)
These two bitter divisional rivals are looking for a massive win early this season to boost their chances of challenging for supremacy in the division. It’s an important start for both of them, especially after our boys sent them packing last year.
