Watch: 49ers linebacker flies over Vikings offensive line to stop 'tush push'

The 49ers linebacker made an unreal defensive play on Monday night when he expertly timed the snap on the Vikings' attempt at the "tush push" on first-and-goal from the 1-yard line, flying over Minnesota's offensive line and tackling quarterback Kirk Cousins before he could reach the end zone.

It was the kind of play that would make legendary Steelers safety Troy Polamalu proud.

Minnesota settled for a field goal on the drive and San Francisco scored a touchdown 65 seconds later to pull within five points, 19-14.

If Warner isn't the best linebacker in football, it's unclear who is. He's a two-time All-Pro, including last season when he had 130 tackles, 10 pass deflections, two sacks, a forced fumble and an interception. 

He has picked up where he left off, already matching his sack, forced fumble and interception totals from 2022 in the first six games of this season.
