49ERS DOWN UNDER captures the story of a historic NFL moment: the San Francisco 49ers’ 27–7 victory over the Los Angeles Rams at Melbourne’s iconic Cricket Ground.

From the unprecedented journey to Australia and the contrasting preparation of both teams to Brock Purdy’s three-touchdown performance, the dramatic goal-line stand, and the remarkable 99-yard drive, this book takes readers inside a game that was bigger than football.

It was the NFL’s first regular-season game in Australia.

And the 49ers made sure history would remember who won it.
