Tom Brady Has Blunt Response to NFL's International Travel Schedule
Tom Brady downplayed travel issues raised after the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers opened the 2026 season in Australia
Tom Brady dismisses concerns over travel impacting a Week 1 NFL game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. The 49ers won 27-7 in Melbourne, with the Rams arriving the day before the match. Brady dismissed travel as insignificant in a Fox Sports video, emphasizing the importance of executing well on the field irrespective of when players arrive.
He expressed indifference towards factors such as travel time or pre-game arrival. Despite the Rams' poor performance, including a subpar game from Matthew Stafford and injuries to key player Myles Garrett, no team accepted blame for travel. Rams head coach Sean McVay, hopeful to avoid future Australian matches, stated his team wouldn't return to Australia.
