By the Numbers
Since entering the NFL in 2011, cornerback Richard Sherman leads all active players in interceptions (32) and passes defensed (99).
Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is averaging 16.6 yards per reception, which ranks third in the NFL since 2013 among active players (minimum 100 receptions) (Josh Gordon, Cle. – 17.3; DeSean Jackson, TB – 17.3).
In 2017, the 49ers special teams held opponents to an average of 4.2 yards per punt return, ranking 1st (tied) in the NFL (Dal. – 4.2; Ind. – 4.2).
With a win at Minnesota, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo would win each of his first four road starts with the 49ers, dating back to 2017. He would tie Elvis Grbac, who won each of his first four road starts from 1995-96, for the most consecutive road wins to begin their career with the 49ers since the NFL merger in 1970.
San Francisco looks to start the season 1-0 for the seventh time in the past eight seasons (2011-18). The Niners also look for their second win in the past four seasons over the Vikings in Week 1 (W, 20-3 - 2015).
