Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:45:39 GMT

It was third-and-3 at the 49ers’ 49-yard line late in the fourth quarter when No. 97 finally leapt off the television screen. Nick Bosa drove his blocker straight toward Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins, who sidestepped the traffic and threw a 13-yard pass to Jordan Addison for a first down.Bosa looked to the heavens — or in this case the roof of U.S. Bank Stadium — his arms outstretched. It was as if he couldn’t believe Cousins wasn’t in a crumpled heap on the ground.As it turned out, Isaiah Oliver was called for defensive holding (which was declined), so it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. But it was representative of a shockingly futile effort by the 49ers’ defense Monday night in a 22-17 loss to the Vikings.A national television audience had to be wondering what all the fuss was about when it came to the 49ers’ defense. Minnesota’s point total in no way represented the way it took apart a defense that believes it is among the...
