The San Francisco 49ers lost 24-16 to the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday and dropped to 0-1 on the season.
Below is a mix of key player and team stats provided by the NFL and Pro Football Focus.
Key Player Statistics
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who is typically very good under pressure, threw all three of his interceptions under duress. He was under pressure during 19 of his 38 dropbacks.
Garoppolo had a passer rating of 45.1, which is obviously a career-worst.
Running back Matt Breida averaged nearly 4.2 yards per carry while Alfred Morris averaged fewer than 3.2.
Tight end
George Kittle led the 49ers in receiving with five catches for 90 yards. Of course, he was unable to haul in a deep over-the-shoulder pass from Garoppolo in the third quarter. The quarterback's next pass was intercepted by rookie cornerback Mike Hughes, who ran 28 yards after the catch into the end zone.
Rookie Dante Pettis had the 49ers' only touchdown, which took place in the third quarter. In fact, it was his first career NFL reception. Pettis became the first 49ers player since tight end Vernon Davis in 2006 to score on his first career reception.
Tackle Garry Gilliam played because injuries to Mike Person and Joshua Garnett forced rookie Mike McGlinchey to play right guard. Gilliam took McGlinchey's spot at right tackle. He allowed a sack, a hit, and three hurries in 24 pass blocking snaps.
Rookie linebacker
Fred Warner had an impressive outing, recording 12 combined tackles, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup. He allowed just 19 receiving yards on his five targets.
Defensive lineman DeForest Buckner, who had just three sacks all of last season, came away with 2.5 on Sunday. It was the most by a 49ers player in a game since Aldon Smith had 5.5 against the Chicago Bears in 2012.
Defensive end Arik Armstead played in 59 snaps, which led the defensive line. He had three run stops in the game.
Kicker Robbie Gould, who connected on all three of his field goal attempts, is one shy of tying Phil Dawson's franchise record of 27 consecutive made.
Key Team Statistics
49ers running backs combined for just 84 total rushing yards.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
49ers address both sides of the ball in Kiper and Yates 3-round mock draft
We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates recently revealed a joint three-round mock draft, examining the top 100 selections and forecasting
Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
