As Jim Harbaugh said from Youngstown, Ohio, “Excited to be here, and feel like it gives us a unique opportunity to circle the wagons and get a great week of preparation.” The 49ers are closing ranks at their Eastern home-away-from-home after a stunning upset loss in Minnesota, knowing full well that a weeklong stay at the home of the York family worked out pretty well for the team last year.

49ers head to Ohio trying to bounce back from loss

Last year, Jim Harbaugh got to know San Francisco safety Donte Whitner well during a week in Ohio in the middle of the season. And so many others, too.

49ers in Ohio trying to bounce back from loss

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Last year, Jim Harbaugh got to know San Francisco safety Donte Whitner well during a week in Ohio in the middle of the season. And so many others, too.

Vikings' team effort takes down unbeaten 49ers

MINNEAPOLIS The San Francisco 49ers were supposed to be one of the best teams in the NFL. After beating Green Bay at Lambeau Field and taking care of Detroit in Week 2, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh's team came to Minnesota as heavy favorites against the 1-1 Vikings.
