The visiting San Francisco 49ers simply weren’t in regular-season form on Sunday. Although they stayed within striking distance of one of the NFL’s top teams, they were unable to recover from an early two-score deficit, and eventually fell to the Minnesota Vikings 24-16.
49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo suffered his NFL loss after facing constant pressure from Minnesota’s stellar defensive unit. Garoppolo didn’t look like his 2017 self in the contest, although the QB didn’t lose his cool, and kept his team in the game by quickly recovering from mistakes.
Injuries took a toll on the 49ers yesterday, and especially on the team’s offense.
