Things just broke even MORE in the Eagles favor... Sep 12, 2026

Show notes

The San Francisco 49ers opened the 2026 season with a dominant win over the Los Angeles Rams in Australia — and some of the best news came from where nobody expected it.

From Bondi Beach to the Sydney Opera House, David Lombardi breaks down the biggest takeaways from San Francisco’s Week 1 victory. The rebuilt 49ers offensive line completely neutralized Myles Garrett and the Rams’ pass rush, while Kyle Shanahan delivered a masterclass in motion, protection and play-calling.

We also dive into Brock Purdy’s growing connection with Demarcus Robinson, Mike Evans’ impact on the offense, San Francisco’s dominant ground game and why having one of the NFL’s most veteran-heavy offenses could actually be a major schematic advantage.

Plus, a closer look at the game-changing goal-line stand from rookie Gracen Halton and Fred Warner, the 49ers’ championship formula, and how San Francisco is building an international fan base across Australia.
