Niners Overpower Vikes In Regular-Season Opener

At Santa Clara, California:

Running back Carlos Hyde carried the ball 26 times for 168 yards and two touchdowns on Monday night as the San Francisco 49ers throttled the visiting Minnesota Vikings 20-3 in the National Football League regular-season opener for both teams.  

The victory came in the opening contest of Jim Tomsula's second stint as the Niners' head coach (he coached one game---a victory over Arizona---on an interim basis at the end of the 2010 season).

It was the first Monday night NFL game to be played at Levi's Stadium----site of Super Bowl 50.
