The 49ers rode running back Carlos Hyde to victory on Monday night against the Vikings. He rushed for 169 yards and scored twice on Minnesota, and he toted the rock 26 times.
"I just try to be that momentum builder for our offense, get the offense rolling, spark the offense so we're able to drive down the field and put points on the board," Hyde said.
The Steelers defense has been maligned coming into the season, and Tom Brady's evisceration didn't help their perception. The Steelers were more vulnerable to the pass, however, so Hyde might have to take a backseat to quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
The Steelers will have their home fans behind them tonight though, and they have an offense that's expected to be among the NFL's best. They are missing RB Le'Veon Bell once again and wide receiver Martavis Bryant because of suspensions. DeAngelo Williams ran for 127 yards in the opener in Bell's place, however, and Antonio Brown can catch enough balls for three receivers.
Williams in particular impressed QB Ben Roethlisberger. "Obviously we're very happy with what he did but we all kind of knew what we were getting in DeAngelo, a guy that puts the work in every day, is a great football player," Roethlisberger said.
