The Vikings prevailed 22-17 against the 49ers Monday in an
impressive team performance.
Several
players hit milestones, including Kirk Cousins, who passed for 378 yards,
recording his 50th career game with at least 300 yards through the air. He's
the fifth QB to do so in his first 12 NFL seasons and 15th with at least 50
games all-time.
T.J. Hockenson led Minnesota with 11
receptions, blowing past a record for fastest tight end to record 100
receptions with a team. Hockenson entered the game with 96 through his first 16
regular-season games. The previous record was 20 games.
Jordan Addison recorded his first 100-yard game, making
his Monday Night Football debut with style and substance,
with 20- and 60-yard touchdown catches.
He became just the fifth rookie since 1970 with at least 400 receiving yards
and six receiving touchdowns through his first seven games.
Danielle
Hunter recorded his 80th career sack, passing former teammate Everson Griffen
for seventh in franchise history.
Camryn
Bynum snagged two interceptions for
the first time in one game and teamed up on a tackle with Harrison Smith of
Christian McCaffrey. Smith forced a fumble by the running back that was
recovered by Dean Lowry.
Up
next is a renewal of the Border Battle between the Vikings (3-4) and Packers
(2-4) at noon (CT) Sunday.
