On Sunday, September 9, the Minnesota Vikings will begin the 2018 NFL season at U.S. Bank Stadium by hosting the San Francisco 49ers.
The Vikings’ offense is looking for a fast start against a defensive opponent that ranked in the bottom of the league last year against both the run and the pass and also in points allowed.
49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh is 20 years younger than Minnesota head coach Mike Zimmer. Saleh is in his second year with San Francisco and on Sunday afternoon, he has his work cut out for him as the 49ers start the season against Zimmer’s fully-charged Vikings offense.
