MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Nate Sudfeld led a 14-play, 79-yard drive for a go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Minnesota Vikings 17-7. Sudfeld started and went 13 of 17 passing for 102 yards in the competition with rookie Brock Purdy to back up quarterback Trey Lance. Second-year quarterback Kellen Mond started for Minnesota and finished 10 of 20 for 82 yards and two interceptions. Mond and Sean Mannion are competing to back up Kirk Cousins.
