#Vikings RB Dalvin Cook suffered a shoulder dislocation today, sources say, which knocked him out of the game after 103 yards from scrimmage. He'll have an MRI tomorrow to determine what damage the dislocation caused.

That looked like the same play the Vikings ran against the Chargers on Tyler Conklin's TD in a similar 4th/goal situation.
Coach Mike Zimmer said Cook will have an MRI to determine the severity of his injury. twitter.com/rapsheet/statu…
Kene Nwangwu is special. Takes a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, and the Vikings are right back in this. 31-26 SF.
Easy to nitpick from up here, but those plays on first and second down are very questionable. On first down, Alexander Mattison was targetted for a four-yard pass over the middle that fell incomplete. On second down, Cousins threw to Mattison on a swing pass.

The Vikings’ already depleted defense took more injury setbacks on Sunday.Minnesota LB Anthony Barr went down with an injury.
Barr is the player who wears the green dot for Minnesota, which means he receives the defensive play calls from the sideline. He doesn’t always light up the stat sheet, but he serves an important role.
Vikings LB Nick Vigil has taken green-dot duties in the absence of Barr. Vigil — and other linebackers such as Eric Kendricks and Blake Lynch — will have to step up now that Barr is potentially gone

Klint Kubiak digs back in his trick play bag to help the offense respond and cut the game within 8 (after Joseph missed PAT). The double pass from Cousins to Jefferson to Cook went 24 yards, set up Mattison's TD.
Vikings offense up first in San Francisco. Mason Cole gets the start over Garrett Bradbury at center for a second straight week since Bradbury has been back.
Deebo Samuel might be the best running back in the NFL.
The 49ers have grown to 3.5-point favorites over Minnesota as their health prognosis has improved (Elijah Mitchell is expected to play) over the week

Finger and rib injuriues

FF Today's Take: Mitchell will shift Jeff Wilson into a backup role but it's unclear how the workload will be shared between the two 49ers' running backs. Mitchell is more of a Flex option than a RB2 given the uncertainty.
Vikings stole the 49ers' Jauan Jennings play? MIN gains 24 yards and is in business.

Trey Lance underwent his most extensive NFL pregame workout yet before 49ers-Vikings. He threw to Brandon Aiyuk and even broke a sweat. Watch here: youtu.be/nHhkKwNS0iw
Charles Omenihu. The 49ers' trade-deadline acquisition is paying dividends
Azeez Al-Shaair's line today: * Team-high 8 tackles * One INT * One pass defensed * One fumble recovery * Started game at weakside LB, ended it calling the plays at middle LB.
The Vikings defense faced adversity on Sunday.
The unit dealt with the losses of every starter on the defensive line. LB Anthony Barr’s hamstring injury during the game made the defense’s job even harder.
The missing pieces were easy to see. San Francisco punished the Minnesota defensive front with 208 rushing yards on the day.
The Vikings defense couldn’t stop the 49ers on offense for most of Week 12, but the team got a lucky break when San Francisco K Robbie Gould missed a 42-yard field goal to keep the Vikings within eight points late in the fourth quarter. In the end, the Vikings offense failed to convert on fourth down during its final offensive drive
Kyle Shanahan said RB Trey Sermon's ankle injury "looked a little worse" than the other injuries. But more will be known after further evaluations tomorrow.

Josh Norman seemed more focused on going for the strip than the tackle, which was a terrible decision given game situation

Big catch from Trent Sherfield to pick up a first down.
Kevin Givens, who'd been having a quiet 2021 season, is quiet no more. Good teams enjoy clutch contributions from their depth pieces. The 2019 49ers knew this
Kyle Juszczyk's Pro Bowl appearance this season will be very deserved… again

"You have to earn single safety," Mike McDaniel told me a few years ago. Once 49ers get single safety, Garoppolo can much more easily manipulate the defense at the line of scrimmage. You saw it on that drive, and especially with the Deebo TD. SF's personnel specializes in that
Mitch Wishnowsky with a 65-yard punt (net 45), and the Vikings open at their own 20.
#49ers played that last snap with zero linebackers. Dontae Johnson, Talanoa Hufanga were the extra DBs.
Trent Williams has been beaten a couple times early in this game. More reason that the 49ers must stay on schedule
Bosa was slow to get up after colliding with teammate Samson Ebukam earlier. Has been off the field for last three snaps.
Not easy/borderline impossible for Cousins to launch an accurate deep ball with all 6-7 of Arik Armstead pushing interior linemen onto his vision
