Minnesota Vikings fall to San Francisco 49'ers 196.46-103.36 despite beating expectations

San Francisco 49'ers fell short of projections while Minnesota Vikings brought their A game and exceeded their projected point total, but it wasn't enough to swing the result.

Minnesota Vikings grabbed an 11.16-point lead on Thursday, but San Francisco 49'ers held the lead the rest of the way.
