NFL-49ers coach Shanahan feels like he is in the future before landmark Australia game

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed confusion about the date after the team's trip to Australia for their NFL season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. The game will be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, marking the first NFL regular-season game in Australia. Shanahan and his team arrived a week early to adapt to the time zone difference, which he found challenging.

Despite the confusion, Shanahan believes the team is excited and prepared for the game, with players adhering to a detailed sleep and nutrition plan. The Rams, the home team, will arrive the day of the game and maintain their regular training schedule.
