“We thought that was the best plan of attack in terms of our approach,” Rams coach Sean McVay said after the game. “We didn’t have the result that we wanted today.”
San Francisco outscored L.A., 17-0, after halftime and 49ers linebacker Fred Warner said the Rams clearly weakened down the stretch.
“I think it was definitely a matter of us feeling like we got stronger as the game went on,” Warner said. “The opposing team, it felt like they kind of withered away.”
San Francisco appeared to have taken the more conventional game plan to beat jet lag, getting to its destination as far ahead of kickoff as possible and living a week in the new time zone to recover from a brutal 15-hour plane ride.
L.A.’s unconventional strategy was aimed at keeping the players’ body clocks on schedule, in hopes of tricking their heads, torsos, arms and legs into believing it was just another 5:37 p.m. kickoff.
“I don’t believe that’s why we didn’t play well enough. I really don’t,” McVay said. “Listen, I’m more than comfortable (with the travel schedule). That’s something I’ll always make the decisions that I think are the best for the football team.”
He added: “It’s easy in hindsight to say it was a miss. Those are responsibilities that I’ll take. Then you got to be able to look at it. I’ll always look at myself inside-out and figure out where I can improve.”
At least a handful of 49ers had no idea they arrived had arrived in Australia so far head of the Rams.
“When did they get out here?” 49ers WR Evans asked reporters after the game.
When told L.A. showed up on Thursday, Evans appeared to be genuinely shocked.
“Oh, dang!” he said. “I mean, you got to give your body time to adjust.”
