The San Francisco 49ers faced a tough defeat against the Minnesota Vikings, losing 23-17, and a standout moment was a 97-yard touchdown pass from Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold to wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell praised Darnold's execution on the play and Jefferson's ability to beat coverage, while Jefferson acknowledged the trust Darnold had in him. Despite the miscommunication in the 49ers' defense, which involved Ji'Ayir Brown and George Odum, San Francisco fought to stay competitive.
