Despite a 1-0 start that included a throttling of Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets on Monday Night Football, the San Francisco 49ers posted an underwhelming performance in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Brock Purdy threw for 319 yards and a touchdown. Yet, a crucial fumble and an interception defined his performance. Although Deebo Samuel recorded 110 yards receiving and Jordan Mason stayed hot with another 100-yard effort and a touchdown, but it wasn’t enough to keep up with the Vikings.
Third down tormented Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers all day, with Purdy and company converting just 2-of-10 attempts on third down.
Sam Darnold threw for 268 yards two touchdowns and an interception, including a 97-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson during the Vikings 23-17 win over the 49ers.
Fred Warner was one of the few bright spots, recording a team-high nine tackles and a sack while also forcing two turnovers to keep the 49ers in the contest.
Following the 49ers’ loss to the Vikings in Minnesota, the NFL community on Twitter chimed in with a flurry of reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on social media on Sunday.
