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.

49ers vs Rams: Week 1 in Australia

49ers vs Rams

By: Jake Rajala

Australia is known for a lot of interesting things. First off, they may have the sexiest accents. It sounds like Beethoven when the Australia native Hugh Jackson talks. They are also known to have kangaroos. These kangaroos look like an NFL linebacker. Sadly, they are often killed and eaten.

With that said, some may wonder why I brought up these remarks. Well, there will be a first ever NFL game in Australia in Week 1. It will be the 49ers against the Rams. These two teams are in the same division and they happen to be Super Bowl contenders. It’s like Apollo and Rocky.

Australia also happens to have the best Opera house in the world. I know that may sound like nails on the chalk board to someone like George Kittle or Nick Bosa.

It’s possible.

Heavy populated countries that haven’t hosted a football game can fall in love with the game. 14 million people are football fans in the UK, after its first game in 2007.

This game will take place in a cricket stadium. Of course, that sport is more delicate and it doesn’t come with CTE like football.

It would be fitting if AC/DC, which came from Sydney in 1973, did a half-time show. Perhaps Australia born country singer Keith Urban could kick off the game, too.

People in Australia like espressos as much as me and your average Finland native. Alcohol is also a big deal. It’s the most widely used drug. Don’t tell anyone that drinking is popular, as Matthew Stafford loves to chug beers, and have a good time.

Sean McVay turns 40 years old

Outlook of Sean McVay

By: Jake Rajala

Sean McVay is a certified genius. The man, myth, and legend turned 40 years old yesterday. He is only a few years older than his quarterback (Matthew Stafford)! Just as Bill Belichick can coach at an old age of 73, McVay can coach (and get a ride from mom) to practice at the ripe age of 40.

In all seriousness, he has orchestrated an offense that ranked first in PPG this season. That’s why everybody that’s coached or had a cup of coffee with him is getting a HC gig around the league.

McVay needs to have more unique style in my opinion. Josh McDaniel has a visor that he loves to wear. He even wears it instead of a winter hat when it’s snowing outside. As for McVay, he just spikes his hair and chooses not to shave.

There were rumors of McVay retiring after Aaron Donald retired. Donald, himself, hung up his cleats at 32 years old, which isn’t that old. Perhaps the 5’10 McVay tried to hide in his suitcase at LAX. Well, McVay hung around with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua.

I would like to see McVay stick around the NFL for a while and aim to be the best HC of all time. Even if Stafford retires and the Rams don’t have an early 2026 draft pick, I’d imagine they could attract a new QB via a trade. Tua Tagovailoa, Malik Willis, or Spencer Rattler would be intriguing QB options moving forward. Hell, let’s not forget that McVay was an elite HS QB. Perhaps he could lace them up again!

It would be hard to feel bad for McVay if he doesn’t stack up Super Bowl wins. He is married to a Super Model by the name of Veronika Khomyn. He is also able to beat up his little brother (Kyle Shanahan) as he 4-1 against Kyle in his last five meetings. Obviously, he has a home theater, pool, and gym in his house, as well.
