Watch Sunday Night Football NFL Preseason: Vikings vs ‘49ers on NBC

With the NFL Preseason in full swing, the best way you can spend a lazy Sunday Afternoon is by watching a NFL Preseason game on DISH Network! And this Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers faces the Minnesota Vikings in the second preseason game for both the teams. The Sunday Night Football Preseason: Vikings vs ‘49ers match will be broadcast on NBC at 8.PM. the DISH Network subscribers can also watch the game on HD mode (where available).

If you are planning to watch Frank Gore, Vernon Davis or Michael Crabtree in this match on satellite TV, you might be dissappointed! However, there are still some players to watch in this match. Alex Smith will be the best one to watch when he is playing. Other than that there will be three other players to watch in the impending game! They are Anthony Davis, Taylor Mays and Dominique Zeigler.

Anthony Davis : Right tackle Anthony Davis did not do well in the first game against the Colts. Sunday Night Football Preseason: Vikings vs. ‘49ers game can be a good indicator to see whether Davis has made any improvement since the last match.

Taylor Mays : Safety Taylor Mays is another player who can play a pivotal role in the game. Mays played the first game well. He has the athleticism required to be a key player and may be on Sunday we will be able to see him playing a lot more instinctively.

Dominique Zeigler : Receiver Dominique Zeigler is another player who can shine this Sunday. He was so impressive in training camp! As Kyle Williams out with injury and Brandon Jones released, Zeigler will have good scope to prove himself.

To win the preseason game against the Vikings the 49ers will require some major contributions from Davis, Mays and Zeigler. But will they be able to live up to the expectation? Let us watch Sunday Night Football Preseason: Vikings vs. ‘49ers at 8 PM Tonight on NBC to find that out!
