A Facebook video has surfaced showing at least one San Francisco 49ers fan assaulting a Minnesota Vikings fan following Monday night’s game at Levi’s Stadium.

49ers coach Jim Tomsula was adamant that Hayne’s lack of punt returns after the fumble had nothing to do with the error.
Speaking to Hamish & Andy on The Hit Network in his first Australian post-game radio interview, Hayne showed the typical Aussie spirit in shaking off the early error.
Tomsula and special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey sent Hayne straight out for the next punt return, which he caught safely. He also ran for 41 yards on seven carries.
The new starter in place of departed franchise rushing leader Gore, Hyde’s yards were the most by a 49ers running back since Gore’s 207 in Week 2 of 2009 against Seattle.
Hayne’s fantasy of a code-hop to your career in gridiron from NRL football became a truth in Santa Clara as the Niners beat the Minnesota Vikings 20-3 on Tuesday afternoon, but his first touch of the pigskin was far from ideal.
“I just try to be that momentum builder for our offense”, Hyde said. “It started off a bit shaky, but it was good to get a couple runs”.
Yes, Peterson said “we” not “I” when talking about the embarrassing performance on Monday night, and he was right.
Veteran 49ers kicker Phil Dawson, the second-oldest player in the league at 40, contributed the rest of San Francisco’s points with his boot.
What Happened: The first quarter was blank on the scoreboard, as neither team could finish off drives due to blocked/missed field goals and fizzled progress.
But Peterson will churn out more highlights as the season goes on. Peterson had four carries for 14 yards in the first half, plus two receptions.
– Large receiver Mike Wallace thought the officers on that deep ball, however “that’s not the factor that made us lose”.
On Sunday, Peterson will play his first game at TCF Bank Stadium. Kaepernick has thrown nine touchdowns and no interceptions in Monday night games.
“This wasn’t the way we expected it to go”, said Peterson, who missed all but Week 1 previous year after going on paid leave and then serving a suspension in the fallout from a child-abuse case against him in Texas.

Both the Eagles and Falcons are aiming to recover from disappointing campaigns a year ago, when they failed to reach the playoffs.
