Brock Purdy and the Niners struggled to get anything going against a stellar Browns defense in Week 6. It didn’t help that San Francisco lost Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel to injuries. Still, Purdy was off all day and made some questionable decisions. Luckily for him and the Niners, they’ll get an extra day’s rest and a much easier defense.
The Vikings eked out a win against the Chicago Bears in Week 6 to pick up their second win of the campaign. Minnesota clearly missed Justin Jefferson, who is on IR with a hamstring injury, even with Jordan Addison stepping up in his absence.
The Vikings will get an angry 49ers team that should beat up on a bad Vikings defense in Week 7. Take the Niners, even if they are short-handed.
