49ers vs Vikings in Mexico City

49ers vs Vikings outlook

By: Jake Rajala

The San Francisco 49ers will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11 in Mexico City. The city is otherwise known as the land of taxis (as it has 140,000 taxis). It’s also the most populated city in North America. To be fair, it’s also not the cleanest city. It makes San Francisco look spotless.

The Vikings have won the prior two games against the 49ers. In 2014, the Vikings QB was Sam Darnold. In 2023, the Vikings QB was none other than Captain Kirk Cousins. Clearly, Darnold is a 49ers killer, whether he’s with the Vikings or Seattle Seahawks. He holds the upper ground, as he’s 2-1 in a Hawks uniform against the 49ers last season. He holds a passer rating of 96.1 against the 49ers. He looks like Vikings legendary QB Fran Tarkenton against the 49ers.

Let it be known that Darnold was once on the dark side. He played with the 49ers in 2023.

It wasn’t a welcome home party for former 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh last season. The Vin Diesel-like figure didn’t have an answer for the creative Seahawks offense ran by Klint Kubiak.

The 49ers menace at QB was Brock Purdy in 2024 and 2023. He wasn’t able to succeed by “handing the ball off”. Those days may have worked with Jimmy G, but the 49ers aren’t well-rounded enough to make that happen now.

I hope the two squads don’t stay in a hostel in the city. However, it may be nice to dabble in the culture a little and get a sandwich for 50 cents.

I recommend learning some Spanish for Starbucks and McDonalds. This way you don’t have to use fingers to point to everything.
