The San Francisco 49ers have a short turnaround before their Week 2 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
After a hectic offseason for the San Francisco 49ers (1-0), the team finally got to take the field last week for the first Monday Night Football game of the year against the New York Jets. After months of contract discussions and trade rumors Kyle Shanahan’s squad turned the conversation around the team back to football and gave the NFL a reminder of why they’re once again among the Super Bowl favorites with a 32-19 win at home over the New York Jets. Now the Niners have an abbreviated five-day turnaround as they head on the road for the first time this season to visit the Minnesota Vikings (1-0) at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.

The big story of the Niners’ opener was the performance of rookie UDFA running back Jordan Mason out of Georgia Tech. With Christian McCaffrey sidelined last minute due to an injury, Mason put the offense on his back carrying the ball 28 times for 147 yards and a touchdown. McCaffrey’s status is in doubt again this week, meaning Mason could be in for another big day.
Mason and the Niners’ offense will face a tough test against a Vikings defense that had a strong start last week against the New York Giants. Minnesota held New York to just 240 total yards and 3.5 yards per play while forcing two turnovers. Now facing a Niners offense with more playmakers up and down the lineup, the Vikings will need to respond.
