What the 49ers and Vikings Had to Say Following Week 2

“Really proud of our football team. When you play the defending NFC Conference Champions, you know you are signing up for a 12-round heavyweight fight. We talked a lot about play style, we talked about how we want to play as a football team, regardless of who we are playing. I really want those things to show up, because we’ve made such an emphasis on it. We’ve built our team around it this year.”

“I give Kyle (Shanahan), his coaching staff and all those players so much credit for what they have been able to sustain for so long, and they do it by playing football the right way. They impose their will on opponents, and this team is — that’s a fantastic football team. If you want to go anywhere in this league, especially in our conference, we know, it’s proven, last year and a few before that, that it’s going to be a team on your schedule whether they were on it initially or not. You’re going to have to eventually play ’em. We just got to get the first crack at ’em in week two. But I can’t say enough about what Kyle does, that organization, John Lynch. They do everything the right way and you know you’re signing up for everything you possibly can give on a Sunday afternoon.”

“Great team win. I thought defense played their butts off today, special teams as well getting that blocked punt was huge. And then obviously a great team in San Francisco, to be able to come out as a team and fight as a team the way we did. That last drive, the offensive line doing their thing, running the ball you know late in the third quarter, early in the fourth, just guys stepping up. I thought that was huge… Great team win and really proud of the guys.”
