Vikings Defeat 49ers 23-17 in Minnesota

The San Francisco 49ers suffered a disappointing 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, marking their eighth consecutive defeat in Minnesota since 1992. Quarterback Brock Purdy struggled significantly, throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble, while also facing relentless pressure from the Vikings' defense, which sacked him six times. Despite a strong performance from running back Jordan Mason, who rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown, the 49ers' offensive line faltered, contributing to their struggles. The Vikings' Sam Darnold threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns, including a long 97-yard pass to Justin Jefferson. Fred Warner was a standout for San Francisco, making key defensive plays, but the team could not overcome their offensive woes and red zone turnovers. This loss raises concerns for the 49ers' Super Bowl aspirations as they head into the coming weeks.
