    As we mentioned after CJ Ham blocked the 49ers’ punt early in the first quarter, the Vikings would need to make more game-changing plays as the game moved on in order to beat the 49ers.

    Minnesota did just that. And it was a pretty cool one.

    Purdy, inside San Francisco territory, throws to the middle of the field. Linebacker Blake Cashman initially gets a hand on the ball, tips it to Josh Metellus, who tips it in the air, where safety Cam Bynum gets a hand on it. Finally, Metellus comes down with the interception.

    After Minnesota got the ball, now deep in San Francisco territory, Sam Darnold found wide receiver Jalen Nailor for a 10-yard touchdown pass. Nailor split two defenders and was wide open in the endzone for the Vikings to take a 20-7 lead over the 49ers.

    Darnold is up to 204 yards, two scores, and one interception in the game.
