The 49ers did not play the Vikings this season. Minnesota finished the 2019 season with a 10-6 record — good enough for second place in the NFC North behind the division-champion Green Bay Packers.
The Packers, the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs, will host the winner of Sunday's later game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks.
This is San Francisco's first playoff run since the 2013 season. That squad made it to the NFC Championship Game during that season but ultimately fell short of a victory against the Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers' last Super Bowl win came in Super Bowl XXIX in 1995 against the San Diego Chargers.
Super Bowl LIV will be played on February 2 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
