What happened: San Francisco won the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia.

Why it matters: Palmer's assessment points to motion's value in setting up blocks, beyond its use to disguise offensive intentions.

By the numbers: Next Gen Stats recorded motion at the snap on 65.6% of San Francisco's offensive plays—nearly two-thirds. [Statistical context](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1wd5vcl/per_next_gen_stats_the_49ers_offense_featured/)

What to watch: Watch whether San Francisco sustains that motion frequency in its next game.
