The Minnesota Vikings topped the San Francisco 49ers 27-17 in Week 11 of the 2026 season, solidifying their playoff aspirations with a crucial road win. With both teams fighting for positioning in the postseason race, the Vikings demonstrated their prowess on both sides of the ball to secure the victory. Tyler Shough led the charge for Minnesota, throwing for 291 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to make plays when it mattered most. Javonte Williams was a force on the ground, racking up 111 rushing yards, while Jordan Addison emerged as Shough's favorite target, accumulating 149 receiving yards. This offensive trio proved too much for the 49ers' defense to handle. Defensively, the Vikings managed to limit the 49ers' scoring opportunities, although San Francisco’s Ashtyn Davis led the unit with three tackles. The game turned in Minnesota's favor when they capitalized on a crucial turnover, which shifted the momentum and allowed them to pull away in the second half. Although the 49ers' Nick Martin registered a sack and Renardo Green snagged an interception, it wasn't enough to turn the tide as the Vikings held firm for the win.
