On September 10th, the Rams played the 49ers in the first of nine international games in Melbourne, Australia. Going into the game, the Rams were the favorite to win the game by 65% because of the two main players they added over the off-season: Myles Garrett, traded from the Cleveland Browns, and Aaron Donald, who came out of retirement. The game started slow, with the Rams punting after only 3 plays and 1 minute into the game. The 49ers then proceeded to get stopped at th

On September 13th, the Vikings hosted the Packers for the season opener of the 2026 NFL season. Jordan Love was the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, and Kyler Murray was the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.
