The Vikings came into Levi’s stadium on Saturday and lost 27-10. They lost the game in the trenches, plain and simple.
From the get-go, the 49ers were able to get 4, 5, or 6 yards on their rushing plays, which set up easier 3rd down conversions, and extended drives that ended in touchdowns. Those drives ate up the clock - the 49ers dominated time of possession the whole game - and wore down the Vikings defense.
Offensively, the Vikings suffered from predictable play-calling from Kevin Stefanski, which seemed to stem from a poorly designed game plan.
