The 49ers (5-1) look to rebound from their first loss of the season by winning the ground game at the Vikings (2-4) on “Monday Night Football.”
San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa sacks Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins in the second quarter of their NFL game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Nov. 28, 2021. MINNEAPOLIS – One player in the 49ers’ locker room discreetly said he was a bit bummed this past week. He wanted to go undefeated this season. Heck, who didn’t?
The 49ers won twice under the lights in their 5-0 start: 30-12 over the New York Giants and 42-10 over the Dallas Cowboys, both at Levi’s Stadium. Purdy will be on alert regardless. Part of his instant success have been his counterattacks to the blitz, from his first significant action last December against Miami to the Giants’ 85-percent blitz rate in Week 3. Here’s the catch: the Vikings don’t just blitz, but they cause further chaos with the illusion of sending extra pass rushers.
San Francisco 49ers’ Jordan Mason celebrates his touchdown in the fourth quarter of their NFL game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023. The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 42-10. The 49ers offense still clouts the NFL’s third-best rushing attack but mystery surrounds whether Christian McCaffrey will play or how much and effective he’d be. He’s questionable with an oblique injury that kept him out of the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss at Cleveland.
“They’re going to attack us on the perimeter this week. We know that,” defensive coordinator Steve Wilks said. “We’ve got to make sure that we set edges and we’ve got guys over the top. Let’s run to the football.” “We know we’re going to get screens. That’s what they do,” Wilks added. “So that’s all been a point of emphasis, just really guys making plays when given the opportunity.”
