Shanahan Details 49ers’ Australia Trip Toll

San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said the team needed several days to recover from the 17-hour time difference after its 27-7 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Australia. Shanahan said he felt unwell through the weekend, while players received an extended recovery period and largely adjusted by Wednesday. The experience led Shanahan and Rams coach Sean McVay to question the burden of long international travel during a demanding 17-game season, though the NFL already has commitments for additional Australia games. The 49ers also lost rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling to an ankle injury requiring surgery and an expected recovery of about 10 weeks before returning home to prepare for Miami.

No. 14 Penn State enters Week 3 as a heavy favorite to beat Buffalo after a 2-0 start, with Becht showing efficiency at quarterback and Hansen contributing in the run game as the defense also looks to limit Buffalo’s offense. Buffalo, having split its first two games, struggles on offense with limited production and a negative turnover margin, and PSU is projected to win comfortably by a large spread.

Kelce Addresses Questionable Hold After Chiefs Win

Travis Kelce admitted the holding play on Talanoa Hufanga during the Chiefs’ 31-10 win over the Broncos was “definitely a questionable” and could have wiped out Patrick Mahomes’ second rushing TD. Coverage also highlights Kelce’s pregame antics, Mahomes’ strong return from knee injury, and a separate fan interaction at Arrowhead, reflecting the mix of on-field controversy and off-field attention.
