WATCH: Dee Ford picks up sack in 1st game back from injury

Dee Ford came up with a big sack late in the first half Saturday.

Dee Ford didn’t play a lot in the first half against the Vikings, but he still came up with a big play.

The Vikings had the ball deep in 49ers territory late in the first half facing a third-and-11 after a Jimmy Garoppolo interception. Ford lined up on the same side as Nick Bosa and flew through the line for a sack to force a Vikings field goal.

Ford may not be 100 percent, but as long as he’s capable of having a handful of plays like this per game, he’s a key component of the 49ers defense.
