AI RECAPIn a closely contested Week 11 matchup, the San Francisco 49ers narrowly defeated the Minnesota Vikings 28-24, solidifying their position in the playoff race. The stakes were high, with both teams looking to improve their postseason standings as the regular season enters its final stretch.
Offensively, Kyler Murray put on a strong performance for the Vikings, throwing for 193 yards and two touchdowns, while Justin Jefferson led the receiving corps with 59 yards.
