After joint practices for two days earlier this week, the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings are currently playing at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Just an hour and a half before game time, the Vikings announced that 27 of their 85 players on the roster would not play.

The first half left us with some strong takeaways. Here were the three takeaways from the first half.
