The 49ers’ defensive line looked like the dominant force of nature it was early in the season. They sacked Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins six times, with most of them coming late to help San Francisco close the contest. Nick Bosa had 2.0 sacks, Solomon Thomas, Arik Armstead, DeForest Buckner and Dee Ford all had 1.0 each. Their six sacks were the most since they racked up seven in Week 8 against the Panthers.
