The Minnesota Vikings shocked the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, beating one of the top teams in the NFC 22-17 behind Jordan Addison's career night.
Kirk Cousins connected with rookie Jordan Addison for two first-half touchdowns and Camryn Bynum intercepted San Francisco’s Brock Purdy twice in the fourth quarter to lift the Minnesota Vikings over the 49ers 22-17 on Monday night. Christian McCaffrey scored twice for the 49ers , who lost their second straight game for the first time in a 34-game stretch.
Addison, stepping up in a big way with superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson sidelined by a hamstring injury, had seven catches for 123 yards in his breakout game on a prime-time stage. The first-round draft pick from USC, who left the game briefly with leg cramps, also had a 14-yard reception on third-and-4 on what looked like the game-sealing drive for Minnesota , but Greg Joseph, who missed an earlier extra point, kicked a 50-yard field goal wide right.
