The Vikings fell on the road to the 49ers, 34-26, in another heart-stopper where a couple uncharacteristic turnovers and failure to punch it in from the two yard line cost the Vikings the game. The turnovers allowed the 49ers to roll in the second half, giving them 10 additional points from a very short field, while the Vikings could not convert a first and goal series late in the game that might have tied the game with a 2-point conversion. And that proved to be the difference in the game.
That wasn’t the only loss for the Vikings, however, as Dalvin Cook, Christian Darrisaw, and Anthony Barr all left the game with injuries- Cook leaving on the cart with a shoulder injury that appeared more severe.
