Kirk Cousins and wide receiver Jordan Addison found a groove toward two first-half touchdowns to give the Minnesota Vikings a halftime lead.
Safety Camryn Bynum then produced two fourth quarter interceptions to ensure that Minnesota kept that lead and iced the game as the Vikings delivered a 22-17 home victory over the San Francisco 49ers at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Monday Night Football. Cousins finished the game with 378 yards passing and two touchdowns, while Addison hauled in seven receptions for 124 yards and two TDs in the victory.
After having a reception taken away by Charvarius Ward for a Niners' interception earlier in the game, Addison exacted revenge by snatching back another near INT from Ward for a 60-yard touchdown, which gave the Vikings a 16-7 lead at halftime.
Though a third-quarter touchdown from Christian McCaffrey would bring the Niners to within five points, they wouldn't get any closer in the second half as Greg Joseph tacked on his third field goal of the game and Bynum's two clutch interceptions in the fourth quarter helped seal the Vikings' victory.
With the win, the Vikings improve to 3-4, while the Niners (5-2) suffered their second straight loss.
