The 49ers answered with a 99-yard touchdown drive to close to within 20-14. Three plays later, the Vikings faced third-and-7 from their 33 with 8:59 left in the game.

| 9/16/24 | Vikings coach O'Connell reviews win over 49ers and provides encouraging update on WR Jefferson. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell met with reporters on Monday afternoon in Eagan and provided an encouraging update on WR Justin Jefferson (quad contusion). “Justin did come in today feeling pretty good, which was a positive based upon the initial quad contusion that happened on that run play,” O'Connell said. “We'll be day-to-day with Justin and we'll keep you guys posted throughout the week on his workload and what it looks like for Sunday, but pretty positive in the early returns there.” As for WR Jordan Addison, who didn't practice at all last week due to the ankle injury he suffered in the opener, is at risk of missing at least one more game.

| 9/16/24 | Must see: Entire Vikings locker room bounces to 50 Cent's 'Many Men'. Want a powerful moment caught on camera? The Vikings posted a video without audio to social media after the game but NFL insider Jordan Schultz has since obtained the version with audio, and it's as epic as one can imagine. Head coach Kevin O'Connell is in the middle of the locker room in the video, where he's presumably preparing to deliver his latest fiery postgame victory speech.

| 9/15/24 | Kurtenbach: Want to beat the 49ers? Just follow the Vikings' blueprint. No, it was the Vikings' play-callers, head coach Kevin O'Connell and defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who looked like masterminds in a 23-17 Minnesota win. “I think he had a very good game plan against us,” George Kittle said of Flores. “You can feel it when you're playing a really good coach who knows what they're doing,” Nick Bosa said of O'Connell, who worked with Shanahan in Cleveland and in his first year running the 49ers.
