San Francisco 49ers at Minnesota Vikings:

Game time www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com , channel, radio, streaming and more Amazingly, incredibly, astoundingly, we have finally made it to Week 1 of the 2018 NFL regular season for the Minnesota Vikings. The purple will play host to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, and if you want to follow along with all of the action, we�re here to tell you how to do precisely that.Television InfoThis game will be kicking off at the only really appropriate time for regular season NFL football, that being noon Central time on Sunday. This game is going to be broadcast on FOX, which is KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities. If you�re wondering whether or not you�re in the local broadcast area for this game, here is the first map of the year from the folks at 506 Sports.The Vikings/49ers game is in the red area, so there�s actually a really good chance that your local FOX affiliate is carrying this game. In the event that they�re not, the game can be found on the DirecTV Sunday Ticket package on Channel 710. The play-by-play for this one will be handled by Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis.For our Canadian friends. . .well, I�m having trouble finding a decent source for Canadian television listings. If you have a lead on one, please let me know.If you�re watching this one from the United Kingdom Minnesota Vikings T-Shirt , it appears that this game is going to be aired on Sky Sports. Kickoff time in the U.K. is 6:00 PM U.K. time.For our men and women serving overseas, this game will. . .not be aired live on the American Forces Network. That�s a damn shame. . .and, frankly, for AFN, par for the proverbial course. They will be showing a replay on Monday, 10 September, at 0600Z. That means a kickoff time of 0700L for viewers in Central Europe, 0930L for everyone in Afghanistan, and 1400L for everyone in Japan and Korea.Radio InfoIf you�re not going to be anywhere near a television for this one, you�ll be able to hear the call from Paul Allen and Pete Bercich on the Vikings Radio Network. That link goes to a list of Vikings Radio Network affiliates across the Upper Midwest. See if yours will be carrying the game. There are a couple of other places you can find it online as well, including the TuneIn radio service as well as the KFAN site (if you�re on a desktop or laptop computer only. . .it won�t work on phones or tablets).If you�re going to be listening via satellite radio, you can have the Vikings� feed on Sirius Channel 81 or XM Channel 226. If you�re using the SiriusXM Online App, the Vikings� permanent home there is Channel 819.Referee InfoAccording to the good folks at Football Zebras, the officiating duties this week will be done by the crew headed up by Clay Martin. If that name doesn�t sound familiar, that�s probably because this is his first season as an NFL referee after spending three seasons as an Umpire on officiating crews. So Minnesota Vikings Hats , hopefully he�ll get off on the right foot here.Weather InfoWell, this game is going to be taking place indoors, so obviously the weather won�t affect Sunday�s contest in any way. As far as tailgating is concerned, there shouldn�t be any issues, according to the folks from WeatherNation. The weather is going to be almost fall-like in the Twin Cities on Sunday, with partly cloudy skies and a high temperature in the low 70s, so the suds should be flowing during the pre-game. . .uhh, �ceremonies.�Streaming InfoThere are several legal subscription services that are available in order to stream the game legally. Among them are Fubo.tv, USTVNow, and Sling TV. If you�re overseas, your best bet is going to be NFL GamePass.Since it has recently been brought up, I want to make it perfectly clear that streams from Reddit or other places are not. . .I repeat, not. . .legal. If you�d like to argue about that, you can argue it somewhere else, because the moderators won�t listen to that garbage. Until Reddit Minnesota Vikings Hoodie , or anywhere else, has a deal with the National Football League, those streams are illegal and not welcome to be put up on this site. If you want to use them, go find them on your own and don�t be plastering them in the comments section here unless you�d rather not be in the comments of the Game Thread. . .or any other thread. . .here at DN.That should be all of the information you need in order to keep track of all the action from U.S. Bank Stadium between the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon. We�ll have our Open Thread for the first quarter up about an hour before kickoff or so, and we hope that you�ll join us here for all of the fun! Still no answers on A-Rod.Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is questionable for Sunday's NFC North showdown with Minnesota.Rodgers, who missed the end of the first half of the Week 1 victory against Chicago with an injured left knee, did not practice Wednesday and Thursday and would not have practiced on Friday."Aaron's getting better," coach Mike McCarthy said Friday. "I would say he feels better than he did at the beginning of the week. (Saturday's) practice will be a pretty big indicator. ... nothing has changed. He's clearly day to day. Hopefully, he'll be able to do work (Saturday)."Even if Rodgers doesn't practice on Saturday, he could play on Sunday."You'd like to walk off the field Saturday and have your plan set, but this is the National Football League, things happen," McCarthy said. "We'll be ready for anything, but I know he wants to play."Rodgers was injured on a sack by Roy Robertson-Harris with about nine minutes to go in the first half against Chicago. He was carted into the locker room for examination, returned for the start of the third quarter and led the Packers back from a 20-0 deficit by throwing for 273 yards and three touchdowns in the second half."His competitive nature kind of takes over www.thevikingsfootballauthentic.com ," offensive coordinator Joe Philbin said Thursday. "He's obviously got exceptional talent. You don't have to be an expert to figure that out. But I think the thing that separates a lot of great players from good players in this league is that competitive spirit. You certainly saw that in full force in the second half. Some of the things he did were pretty special."After the game Sunday, Rodgers compared his mobility to that of a "statue." One of Rodgers' greatest assets is his ability to move in the pocket and extend plays out of the pocket. Any lack of mobility could play into the favor of a Vikings defense that led the NFL in points allowed last season, and intercepted San Francisco's Jimmy Garoppolo three times in Week 1."There's two kinds of mobility," Rodgers said Wednesday. "In the pocket, (the) subtle movements that allow you to have a clean launch point, and then there's movement that allows you to get outside the pocket, which allows you to extend plays and take shots down the field or run. And we'll see what kind of mobility I'm allowed to have."If Rodgers can't play, DeShone Kizer would get the start. Kizer had the NFL's worst passer rating and lost all 15 starts as a rookie with Cleveland last season. The Packers acquired him in an offseason trade, and he beat out Brett Hundley, who went 3-6 in nine starts last season with Rodgers sidelined by a broken collarbone. In his first two series against Chicago, Kizer lost a fumble and threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown."I think obviously we have the best player in the league in our locker room," Kizer said of Rodgers. "If he's ready to go, I'm looking forward to cheering him on and doing whatever I can to help him. It's also my duty and job to make sure I'm ready to go just in case he's not."NOTES: Also questionable for the Packers are receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) and linebacker Oren Burks (shoulder). Safety Josh Jones (ankle) will miss a second consecutive game.
