Monday Night Football in Week 7 looked like a playoff matchup back in August. Fast forward 3 months and Justin Jefferson is on IR, Kirk Cousins trade rumors were a constant until he refused to waive his no-trade clause, and the 49ers are coming off a loss (but are still the best team in the NFC). I expect Brock Purdy to bounce back after his worst performance of the season, and the Vikings’ d efense in primetime is a perfect opportunity to do just that. Minnesota is 25th in opponent 3rd-down conversion, 26th in red zone scoring and 20th in opponent touchdowns per game.
