Tevin Coleman rushed for two short touchdowns and with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo leading the way, the San Francisco 49ers ground down the Minnesota Vikings to win their divisional playoff game 27-10 on Saturday. The victory sends the 49ers against the winner of Sunday’s Green Bay Packers-Seattle Seahawks game in San Francisco for the National Football Conference title on Jan. 19. The top-seeded 49ers never trailed, their aggressive defense holding the Vikings to 21 yards rushing and 147 total yards. They had only seven first downs as Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins could not get untracked. Garoppolo hit Kendrick Bourne with a three-yard touchdown pass for the 49ers’ opening score.
