On Monday night football, the 2-4 Minnesota Vikings faced the 5-1 San Fransisco 49ers in hopes to prove to fans they should still have some hope.

The Minnesota Vikings are 2-4 on the season, with wins over the Panthers and Bears. Vikings fans are soon to give up as playoff chances are decreasing every week.

The Minnesota Vikings came out and shocked the world, beating the 49ers, 22-17 in a very impressive fashion. Minnesota’s offensive line allowed zero sacks, while the defense sacked Brock Purdy once and intercepted him twice, both by Cam Bynum.

The Minnesota offense was firing on all cylinders as they had 452 total yards and Kirk Cousins threw for 378 of those yards. Up and coming star wide receiver, Jordan Addison had 7 receptions for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns, a personal best in yards and touchdowns for Addison.
