Super Bowl punter Ben Graham believes Australia's historic NFL clash at the MCG will be similar to an AFL grand final as an occasion, despite potential concerns over the scheduling of the game.
The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams will play the first-ever regular-season NFL match held in Australia, now locked in for 1035 (AEST) on Friday, September 11, allowing it to be telecast live in prime time on Thursday evening in the United States.
Australian Graham, who featured in the Arizona Cardinals' 27-23 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2009 Super Bowl, says it will be something special for fans.
