The Minnesota Vikings will host the San Francisco 49ers at a match-up on Sunday, September 27, 2009 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis , Minnesota . By this point in the NFL season, both teams will have had two regular season games under their belt and this timing should make for an interesting Vikings 49ers game.

The San Francisco 49ers had a tumultuous 2008 NFL season-firings, hirings, re-signings, and restructurings. On October 20, 2008, 49ers head coach Mike Nolan was fired; assistant head coach Mike Singletary was promoted; Jed York was promoted to team president in December. The San Francisco 49ers season record was 7-9 and ended on a win at a home game over the Washington Redskins, though the San Francisco 49ers failed to make the NFL playoffs.

Despite the unpredictability among staffing positions, most of the San Francisco 49ers players managed to maintain focus and composure. Shaun Hill is one example. He didn't start playing until Mike Singletary was promoted, and though he didn't win his first game, he managed to start turning the San Francisco team's record around. By the end of the San Fransisco 49ers 2008 season, Shaun Hill had 13 touchdowns and a 5-3 winning record.

Unlike the San Francisco 49ers, the Minnesota Vikings did make it to the NFL playoffs in the 2008 NFL season. The Vikings won the NFC North title, but they lost in a wild card game to the Philadelphia Eagles (26-14). Still, their winning 10-6 record beats the 7-9 posting from the San Francisco 49ers.

The Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers may not be legendary rivals, but the pair-up between quarterbacks and lineman will be interesting to play out. The game takes place at noon and Minnesota Vikings tickets are all you need to get in and see how the game turns out. Though the Minnesota Vikings had a better season than the San Francisco 49ers, the teams in many respects are fairly well-balanced and this should be a great match-up.
