Vikings earn a 23-17 win over the 49ers. The injury to Justin Jefferson looms large, but man, this team looks like it's for real.

You could feel the pride — and exhaustion — emanating from Kevin O’Connell postgame. He truly believes in this team and for good reason with how good the Vikings have looked so far.

Justin Jefferson talked to reporters postgame and said he isn’t overly concerned about the quad contusion. Obviously good news for the Vikings.

GAMER: A number of big plays on offense, defense, and special teams helped the Vikings upset the 49ers. Or maybe it wasn’t an upset at all. Nobody on the Vikings seemed to think so anyways. twincities.com/2024/09/15/vik…

Kevin O’Connell says Justin Jefferson and Dallas Turner both came in today feeling pretty good. That’s good news for the Vikings.

COLUMN: He didn’t get caught from behind after making the catch. He didn’t get dragged down when his legs started to tire. He didn’t get pushed out of bounds near the goal line. Justin Jefferson made sure the play ended in a touchdown. twincities.com/2024/09/16/dan…

Matt Daniels said Will Reichard issues a challenge to himself before each season. He gets his haircut before the first game and doesn’t cut it again until he misses a kick. Something to keep an eye on as he progresses through his rookie season.

Aaron Jones said now when he scores, instead of calling it the Lambeau Leap, it’ll be called the Bank Vault. “The bank is open on Sundays.”
