The San Francisco 49ers began their season by taking the joy of Aaron Rodgers‘ return away from the Jets fans. After beating them 32-19 on opening night without star running back Christian McCaffrey, the team hopes to establish a winning streak by beating the Minnesota Vikings in week 2.
Defensive end Nick Bosa believes the Vikings will prove to be a tougher challenge for the 49ers in comparison to the Jets. While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Bosa shared his thoughts on his team’s preparation heading into week 2.
This week I think we're playing a better...honestly a better. They're (Vikings) playing better football, it looks like. They run the ball well and we're going to have to be better in our techniques. We kind of got away with some things last week so we have to hone in and not pat ourselves on the back.Nick Bosa said

Bosa acknowledged the threat that Sam Darnold and Co. posed to the 49ers. He is focused on not repeating the mistakes the team made last week.
Sam Darnold got off to a positive start against the New York Giants in week 1. He threw for 208 yards, scored 2 touchdowns, and had 1 interception. Led by his leadership on offense, the Vikings torched the Giants 28-6.
The Minnesota Vikings can pull one up on Nick Bosa and 49ers
Nick Bosa is not going to make the mistake of taking the Vikings for granted. Especially after their performance against the Giants. Despite playing against Daniel Jones and an offense that struggled to take off, Sam Darnold showed that he has developed great chemistry with his receivers and can belong in the conversation of being a starting QB in the NFL.
The New York Jets will hope to get their first win of the season against the Tennessee Titans who blew a 17-0 lead to the Chicago Bears in week 1. On Monday night, the Jets’ defense, widely regarded as the only consistent unit of the team, faltered as they had no answers to the 49ers’ run game.
The Vikings will face the first big test of their season when they play the 49ers. The defense and offense need to show up if they intend to stand a chance against their opponents. The defense will have a long day as it will have to keep Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jordan Mason under control.
