Two first-half touchdowns from rookie Jordan Addison set the Minnesota Vikings on the way to a 22-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n
Christian McCaffrey, an injury doubt ahead of the game, matched him with two scores of his own but it was not enough as the 49ers slipped to a second successive defeat.<\/p>\n
Kirk Cousins found Addison either side of McCaffrey\u2019s opening score, the second from 60 yards on the brink of half-time.<\/p>\n
Field goals from Greg Joseph stretched the Vikings\u2019 lead to 18-7 early in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
And Joseph struck again from 54 yards after McCaffrey had claimed his second touchdown on a 35-yard pass from Brock Purdy.<\/p>\n
Jake Moody landed a field goal early in the fourth quarter to cut the gap, but Purdy was intercepted twice to stall any late revival.<\/p>\n
After starting the season with five straight wins, the 49ers fell to 5-2 to leave last year\u2019s Super Bowl rivals the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles as the only teams with a 6-1 record.<\/p>\n
