Aaron Lynch and Tramaine Brock had great games on defense. Wooh!
How's that for doom and gloom, San Francisco 49ers fans? Nobody here can claim the Minnesota Vikings are "the" team to beat, but they were the team in front of the 49ers on Monday, and the 49ers sure did beat them. It was a slow, ugly game in the first half that slowly turned into something exciting and special in the second.
Colin Kaepernick had a solid game overall. I was very critical of his issues with his mechanics last season, but he went through his reads, he stayed in the pocket and there was even one play in which he had a first down on a run, but stayed calm and threw it for a much bigger gain.
