Huge win changes Vikings narrative; Wolves sign McDaniels, embark on make-or-break year

Introduction: The narrative of the Vikings season flipped over a
three-hour stretch Monday. Suddenly they have a strong offensive
line? A stout defense? A clutch QB in prime time? Luck on their
side? And a real chance to make the playoffs? That's what it looked
like to host Michael Rand after a 22-17 win over San Francisco at
U.S. Bank Stadium. 12:00: Star Tribune Wolves writer Chris Hine
joined Rand for a preview of the Wolves season, which begins
Wednesday and has a real make-or-break feel to it -- especially
after they signed Jaden McDaniels to a huge extension just before
Monday's deadline. Can the Wolves win enough to keep their core
intact, or will their play and bloated salaries force them to break
things up? 32:00: The Astros lost, which is always a good thing.
