Sean McVay is hoping the Los Angeles Rams don't get another game in Australia, the coach said following the team's season-opening loss to the 49ers. While McVay enjoyed the atmosphere in Australia, per Yahoo Sports, he appears eager to move past the international trip and return to a normal preparation schedule.
The Rams were featured in the NFL's first game played in Australia as part of the league's international expansion efforts. Per Awful Announcing, the league had designated the Rams as a showcase team for the Australian market after years of building a following there. However, McVay's comments suggest disappointment with the experience overall.
Multiple outlets reported on McVay's remarks, with Awful Announcing characterizing the coach as having "torched" the Rams-Australia partnership, while ESPN noted McVay is hoping to move on from thinking about Australia "for a very long time." The reporting does not provide full context for what specifically prompted McVay's desire to avoid future games there.
