In the Vikings' win over the Bears, RB Alexander Mattison dominated the backfield work, handling the majority of carries and targets. Despite a low rushing average, Mattison's involvement in the passing game was a positive development. However, the upcoming matchup against the 49ers makes the Vikings' backfield a situation to avoid.
