The San Francisco 49ers winning streak is broken. In their previous game against the Cleveland Browns, the Niners were left stranded with their two-star offensive players, Wide receiver Deebo Samuel and Running Back Christian McCaffrey, getting injured mid-game. This left Brock Purdy all alone without any support on the offensive end, he could only finish 12 of 27 for 125 yards, one interception, and one touchdown. But in their upcoming game, hopefully, they’ll find a way to get around this problem.

The Niners must prepare to go against the 2-4 Minnesota Vikings, who are coming off a great win. Moreover, the Vikings are also quite desperate for a win to bounce back in the season. So, after the Browns game, Minnesota could take advantage of the mistakes made by the Niners’ O-line. At the same time, the Vikings also need to keep their offense sustainable, and that heavily depends on Kirk Cousins.

Will the Vikings QB Kirk Cousins be able to hold up against the Niners’ defense?

The Week 6 games showed the fans that no team in this sport can be termed to be invincible. Besides the 49ers, even the Philadelphia Eagles lost their first game against the New York Jets. So, there’s still a chance that the Minnesota Vikings could potentially breach the Niners’ defense and manage to put a third win in their pocket. For this to happen, quarterback Kirk Cousins must do a great job on the field next week.

In the podcast 1st & 10 with the renowned reporter Tatum Everett, the discussion regarding Cousins’s abilities started. Well, during that conversation, Everett said, “I think Kirk is playing a little bit safe sometimes, I really want to see him become a little more aggressive. He’s gonna have to figure out as the offense where they’re gonna go without JJ.” WR Justin Jefferson is on the injured reserve due to his hamstring injury.

Later, Everett also added that the Vikings have already faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Philadelphia Eagles who have great defensive front.

But they haven’t been able to break through them yet, so she said, “This offensive line has a tall task ahead“. But things could change with the addition of Guard Dalton Risner in the place of Ezra Cleveland.

Dalton Risner could prove to be the breakpoint for the Vikings

After being a free agent for six months, Dalton Risner was finally taken in by the Minnesota Vikings mid-season. Before this, he played for the Denver Broncos, and in Week 6, he made his debut as the Vikings guard for the first time. Mainly because Ezra Cleveland could not continue playing due to a foot injury in the fourth quarter.

So, Risner had the chance to play for the Vikings’ last two offensive possessions against the Chicago Bears. After the game, Cleveland was seen limping toward the X-ray room, which raises concern for the player. If he’s unable to get back on the field, there are high chances that Risner would be making his first start as a Vikings player.

Currently, the Vikings fans are skeptical about the Week 7 performance, the question is will they be able to continue the momentum of the last game? The Niners are also not undefeated anymore, so there are chances the Vikings could get a win next. What are your thoughts about this? Let us know in the comments section.
