EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — After two straight preseason games on the road, the Vikings are coming home.

Jerick McKinnon lost six yards on his only carry, and Heinicke scrambled for 25 yards.

The 49ers had 37 rushing yards on 19 carries against the Broncos, good for an average of just 1.9 yards per carry. Carlos Hyde led the way with 26 yards on eight attempts.

Rookie defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson had a pair of tackles in the backfield to lead the backups.

The Vikings have not forced an interception in the first two preseason games, but have recovered a fumble in each.

San Francisco gave up 328 total yards of offense in its second preseason game, including 146 on the ground.

The 49ers gave up a league-high 2,654 rushing yards in 2016 as opponents scored 25 touchdowns on the ground.

The Vikings opened up the 2015 season with a dud and were handed a loss on Monday Night Football.

The Vikings offense managed just three points as quarterback Stefon Diggs was sacked five times. Bridgewater threw for 232 yards and an interception while the Vikings also totaled just 71 rushing yards as a team.

San Francisco gashed the Vikings defense on the ground, rushing for 230 yards and two touchdowns on 39 carries.
