What happened: Yahoo Sports argues the San Francisco 49ers should stay away from a trade with the Minnesota Vikings as Tuesday's NFL deadline arrives. The column calls a deal between the clubs something the 49ers would be "insane" to make.
Why it matters: San Francisco beat the Las Vegas Raiders 38-17 on Nov. 8 and holds the top seed at 7-1. Minnesota has lost two straight, most recently 23-6 to the Buffalo Bills on Monday.
By the numbers: 49ers: 7-1 in 2026 through 8 games, one-game win streak, No. 1 seed. Vikings: 6-2 in 2026 through 8 games, two-game losing streak, No. 6 seed.
What to watch: The deadline passes Tuesday, and any deal between the two clubs has to be completed by then.
