Lions vs. 49ers: Why cornerbacks will be crucial for San Francisco

The San Francisco 49ers lost their first game of the season to the Minnesota Vikings, falling in Week 1 24-16.

Yes, we got the loss out of the way. That game is over, and it is time to move on.

San Francisco will return home this week for its home opener against the Detroit Lions — a team coming off of a humiliating 48-17 loss to the New York Jets at home on Monday Night Football. This upcoming Week 2 matchup is a must-win game for the Niners. The Lions look incredibly weak right now at almost every single position, and San Francisco knows that.
