That’s a sweet throw after a really rough outing so far. The 24-yard pickup put the 49ers at the Vikings’ 6. There’s a seed from Garoppolo to Brandon Aiyuk on a third-and-11. – First-and-20 throw to Elijah Mitchell and Garoppolo flat out airmailed him. It’s imperative for the 49ers’ defense that they keep the Vikings in second or third and long. – Nick Bosa got his 11th sack on a first down to put Minnesota behind the sticks. He’s missed several so far, including that out to Kittle. He can’t step up and consistently make throws. – Third-and-2, Garoppolo’s throw for TE George Kittle got knocked down. It’s 14-7 and the 49ers have no answers for the Vikings receivers. It looked like rookie safety Talanoa Hufanga forgot his assignment and Cousins found his receiver for a go-ahead touchdown. – A third-and-3 for the Vikings, Josh Norman got flambéed by Justin Jefferson for a 30-yard gain. (Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images) Probably smart by him not to try and force a throw there. He was retreating almost immediately after the snap. He flew in from the back side on a shotgun run and dragged RB Dalvin Cook down for a loss to force a punt after the 49ers’ game-tying score. – What a play by Charles Omenihu on a third-and-2. was on the field and had an excellent downfield block to spring Samuel. He went sweep off the right side and got some terrific blocking to turn the corner for a 20-yard touchdown. Aiyuk found a soft spot in the Vikings’ zone and went for 37 yards. They need to find a way to run the ball without the Samuel stuff. – First Deebo Samuel carries goes for minus-four yards to bring up a second-and-14. This could be a tough day for the 49ers defense if they’re going to keep letting receivers run free. Two coverage breakdowns by the 49ers helped Minnesota on that series. Thielen again got wide open in the back of the end zone. – Touchdown Vikings on a fourth-and-goal from the 2. It looked like maybe Josh Norman got crossed up in coverage and left Adam Thielen to run to the middle of the field. – The 49ers bit on a flea flicker and got beat for 29 yards. They want nothing to do with the 49ers’ pass rush. – Two quick throws from Minnesota after the interception. An incompletion, a false start, and a short run got the 49ers in a bad spot and Garoppolo couldn’t bail them out. That’s a peril of getting into third-and-long. – Interception from Garoppolo when he tried to force one into Deebo Samuel on a third-and-12. Unbelievable throw from Garoppolo into a tight window. – First third-down conversion try was successful when Jimmy Garoppolo hit WR Jauan Jennings for 21 yards. It looked like a miscommunication between QB Kirk Cousins and his receiver, but Emmanuel Moseley and Jimmie Ward were both there in coverage. – Three-and-out for the Vikings on their first drive. Azeez Al-Shaair is still the Will linebacker with Dre Greenlaw active. – The 49ers defense is on the field first.
