Vikings vs. 49ers staff preview and predictions
49ers #49ers
Record: 4-2
San Francisco has an impressive assortment of talent at their disposal on both sides of the football. Players that are near the top of their position all across the roster. From Nick Bosa and Fred Warner to Christian McCaffery and Deebo Samuel. Even the young quarterback Purdy was playing at an efficient rate that warranted possible MVP conversation. Now, after dropping their first game against Cleveland last week, they’re looking at Minnesota as a chance to flex their muscles as a top-tier team in the NFL.
The question is if Minnesota will allow them to. Even without Jefferson, they still have a veteran quarterback who is able to make every throw on the field and an above-average assortment of weapons for him to throw to. They still have a defensive coordinator who is adept at making life hell on a quarterback. Not to mention a head coach/play-caller who is deemed one of the better minds in the league.
All that being said, this has all the makings of a disappointing outing for Minnesota and could get out of hand pretty quickly.
