The 49ers beat the Rams 27-7 in Melbourne, the league's first regular-season game in Australia. [1] The Guardian filed Brock Purdy and a 100,021 crowd at the MCG. [1] ESPN filed the same 27-7. [2] Thursday owns that kickoff. Print underway. Do not print a preview.

A Friday-morning local kick in Victoria is still Thursday's NFL night in the U.S. file. High-school Friday is not the NFL. Sunday owns the 13-game slate. Do not invent a second kickoff on this page. Print 27-7 as Thursday's.

Print Melbourne. Print Week 1 open. Twenty-seven to seven remains Thursday's Melbourne clock, not a U.S. Friday night.
Week 1 is open. Sunday still owns the slate.
Thursday is not a preview week on this sports desk.
