49ers 17, Vikings 22: The Niners’ defensive coordinator was multiple steps behind Vikings play caller Kevin O’Connell
Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler breaks a tackle by San Francisco 49ers safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. during the first half of an NFL football game, Monday, Oct. 23, 2023, in Minneapolis.
San Francisco was out-gained, out-muscled, lost the turnover battle, and, subsequently, outscored 22-17.All you need to know about the excellence of the 49ers’ defensive tackle was seen when he shed two Vikings’ offensive linemen and came up with a tackle for loss on a first-quarter Vikings run play.No one is going to replace Trent Williams, but Moore played well filling in for the injured All-Pro.
The second interception wasn’t much better, though the circumstances were more dire. No matter how positive Purdy might have been before that INT with 5:30 to play, it’s wiped away by that brutal, game-losing play.I’m sure Pro Football Focus will love the performance. I’m not high on it, seeing as Kirk Cousins went the entire game without being sacked and Bosa was arguably the Niners’ third-best defensive end Monday.
The Vikings picked on Ward, running double-moves against him all night, betting the physical cornerback would commit fouls. He did.
