The 49ers and Vikings are both 1-0 thanks to big wins over New York teams. The Vikings' defense stifled the Giants in a 28-6 beatdown, while the 49ers offense skated to a 32-19 victory over the Jets.
Both teams will be without important offensive weapons on Sunday. San Francisco's do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey will miss a second straight game. For Minnesota, No. 2 receiver Jordan Addison has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin said Sam Darnold's performance will once again be the key to the game, while Brian Flores' defense will need to step up to contain a fearsome 49ers offense.
Kickoff is at noon Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
