On Saturday night at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings hosted the San Francisco 49ers in the second preseason game of the year for both teams. Of all the games in NFL preseason history. . .this was definitely one of them.
Neither offense got a whole lot going, but when the dust settled and the smoke cleared the visiting team did just a little bit more. The Niners will fly back to the West Coast with a 17-7 victory over the Vikings in their pockets.
Minnesota got the football first and they started their second-team offense, led by Kellen Mond at quarterback.
