Rams say travel isn’t to blame for their Melbourne debacle. If so, that suggests bigger problems


Before Sean McVay jumped on his second 15-hour flight in less than two days, he insisted the Los Angeles Rams ’ unorthodox travel plan for Australia wasn’t the reason his Super Bowl-contending team took a thrashing from the San Francisco 49ers in its season opener. It was the second-worst loss by a Super Bowl betting favorite to open a season and the Rams’ first loss in an international game under McVay. Los Angeles was embarrassed in front of 100,021 eager fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground who didn’t get to see the production expected from McVay’s offense, which led the NFL in scoring and yards per game last season.
