The any given Sunday thing is right but if you want to be more specific it's because we contained Peterson and Bridgewater never got hot.

It also helped that the Viking's D got ran over by Carlos Hyde.

Bridgewater had a really bad game. I was at the game and kept seeing him miss wide open receivers.

They had no film on us yet. Didn't know what to expect with Carlos Hyde. Same thing that happened with the Falcons with Blaine and the young DB's.

Ran the ball and stopped the run. Got enough big plays to get the edge.

I haven't seen their other games, but that's basically how they beat the Raiders too. The offense revolved around All Day, the defense was mostly sure-handed, and Newman/Patterson made some plays.

Ironically, I think whatever the Vikings are doing was what the Niners were trying to do: run ball, stop run, stay in the game, and make some plays to win. The Vikes have more talent and the Niners have made the big plays (or any consistent plays) up until now.

Anything can happen

Where I normally agree with that, to not put up a TD on the Niners seeing how they played defense this season is still pretty sad

Pretty easy explanation. The Vikings run defense is trash we have a great running back. The Viking secondary sucks the Vikings linebackers suck the Vikings defensive line sucks and gets little pressure. The Vikings quarterback sucks. The Vikings offensive Line is not good. The Vikings just simply do not have a good team. They are the worst seven win team I have ever seen. If we play them again we would smoke them.
