NFL Game Skips Birthday Across Pacific | Sports News

The NFL’s first-ever game in Australia pits the San Francisco 49ers against the LA Rams in Melbourne, kicking off at 10:35 AM local time—equivalent to 8:35 PM Thursday night ET. For 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, who turned 50 on Sept. 3, the trip caused a bizarre birthday skip: he left the U.S. on Sept. 2 and arrived in Australia on Sept. 4, missing his entire celebration. It’s a wild reminder of how global football reshapes everyday life—and why fans across the Pacific are watching the same game at different times of day.
