- Matt reflects on what went wrong for San Francisco on Monday night
- Dissecting the final seconds of the first half that resulted in a Viking touchdown
- “It’s just a misplay… [Ward] was set up, and he just doesn’t catch it.” – Barrows on Charvarius Ward letting the ball go through his hands into Jordan Addison’s for a 60-yard score
- How did Brock Purdy perform down the stretch?
- “If it looked like he was throwing it to a random spot, he was. He lost Jauan Jennings.” – Barrows on Purdy’s late interception
- Was it the right decision for Christian McCaffrey to play with an oblique injury?
- Barrows on CMC’s injury: “It’s a pain management issue… I had a hard time telling if he was hurt or not. He seemed like the Christian McCaffrey from the first six weeks.”
