(Minneapolis, MN) -- Kirk Cousins lit up the 49ers defense as the Vikings beat San Francisco 22-17 at US Bank Stadium.

The veteran quarterback passed for 378 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, and Minnesota never trailed in the game. The 49ers had two drives late in the fourth quarter trying to go ahead, but Cam Bynum picked off Brock Purdy on each possession to seal the win. Jordan Addison caught seven passes for 123 yards and two scores in the victory.

Minnesota is in second place in the NFC North at 3-4, and the Vikings visit Green Bay on Sunday.
