Niners By Command

Tevin Coleman rushed for 105 yards and two short touchdowns Saturday afternoon as the San Francisco 49ers used a dominating defense and running game to crush the Minnesota Vikings 27-10 in the NFC divisional playoffs in Santa Clara, Calif.

The top-seeded 49ers (14-3) earned the right to host next Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against either Seattle or Green Bay. The Seahawks and Packers play Sunday at Green Bay.

In the first playoff game in the history of Levi’s Stadium, the 49ers outgained the sixth-seeded Vikings (11-7) 308-147, held a 21-7 advantage in first downs and took advantage of two turnovers in the one-sided win.

“It’s an amazing feeling,” Coleman said on the NBC broadcast afterward. “I’m glad to be here. Just feeling the energy and everything, it’s an amazing feeling to be here.”

Cousins’ TD pass came in response to the 49ers’ first score and capped Minnesota’s best drive of the game, a seven-play, 79-yarder. Stefon Diggs hauled in the scoring toss for a 41-yard touchdown, tying the game at 7 with 5:23 left in the first quarter.

Nick Bosa had two of the 49ers’ six sacks, while Arik Armstead, DeForest Buckner, Dee Ford and Solomon Thomas collected one apiece.

Garoppolo threw just 19 times, completing 11 for 131 yards and the one touchdown. He also had one interception, by Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks.

Coleman’s 105 rushing yards came on 22 carries, none of which gained more than 11 yards. With Raheem Mostert adding another 58 yards on 12 carries, the 49ers finished with 186 rushing yards.

“Those guys (on the offensive front) did very well,” Coleman said. “They moved the (defensive) guys back so I could have clear holes to run through.”

Dalvin Cook was Minnesota’s leading rusher with 18 yards on nine carries. The Vikings totaled 21 rushing yards on 10 carries.
