Niners steal the lead in Minnesota

With the Vikings in position to take a nine-point lead into the locker room, the 49ers blocked a field goal try on the last play of the first half.

Nate Clements scooped it up and went the distance.

With the Joe Nedney extra point, the Niners now lead, 14-13.

It’s fitting, actually. The Vikings have now trailed in each of their three 2009 regular-season games at intermission. In the other two, Minnesota dominated the second halves for the win.

Whether that happens today is to be determined.
