Third Sunday: Astonishing Outcome

The 49ers took the field in Minnesota, during the third week of the NFL season, looking to start their season 3-0. Although the 49ers confidence was towering high, after last week’s victory versus the Seattle Seahawks, so was Vikings.
The 49ers looked shaky during their first possessions. They didn’t complete a pass during the whole first quarter and ran the ball strait into Viking defenders. On the other hand, the Vikings completed passes, while Adrian Peterson broke free for a few successful runs. As the 49ers offense struggled to gain their composure, the 49ers defense turned up the intensity and did a great job covering receivers, putting pressure on Brett Favre and stopping Adrian Peterson on the run.
The 49ers offense finally found their grove late in the second quarter and continued to play as a team, throughout the game. The 49ers took a four point lead at the end of the fourth quarter, on a great catch by Vernon Davis, forcing the Vikings to score a touchdown in order to win.
With just 1:20 seconds left in the game, Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings went on a huge drive down the field. They completed pass after pass and reached first down after first down. As the last play of the game was set into motion, Favre connected with his receiver in the back of the end zone, for a miraculous come from behind touchdown, to win the game.
This loss was a hard one to swallow, but the 49ers are determined to put this loss behind them and start preparing for this Sundays division game, versus the St. Louis Rams.
