🚨 49ers Stumble in Minnesota: Vikings Secure 23-17 Win Despite Fred Warner’s Heroics 🏈
The San Francisco 49ers faced a frustrating road loss to the Minnesota Vikings, falling 23-17 at U.S. Bank Stadium. Despite shining moments from linebacker Fred Warner, including an interception and forced fumble, the 49ers struggled on both sides of the ball.
Key mistakes such as a blocked punt and a 97-yard touchdown allowed by the defense set the stage for the Vikings’ victory. Brock Purdy’s turnovers, including an interception and a fumble, compounded the difficulties for San Francisco, who now fall to 1-1 on the season.
The 49ers haven’t won in Minnesota since 1992, and Sunday’s game extended their losing streak there to eight games.
The breakdowns on special teams and defense left the 49ers trailing by 10 points early, while the offense struggled to recover. Coach Kyle Shanahan’s aggressive decisions on fourth downs didn’t pay off, as the team failed to convert key opportunities in a game filled with missed chances.
Up next, the 49ers will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.
