Tony Pollard Diet: Cowboys turn early takeaway into TD vs 49ers

Running back Tony Pollard, making his first start, has opened the scoring for Dallas with a 1-yard touchdown run versus San Francisco.

The ball has bounced the Cowboys’ way for once. After recovering a muffed punt on the 49ers’ 22-yard-line, Andy Dalton, Tony Pollard, and the Dallas offense were gifted a short field early in the first quarter.

A heavy dose of Pollard put the Cowboys inside the 5, and he finally finished off the drive with a one-yard plunge.

Cowboys 7, 49ers 0 with 9:34 to go in the opening frame, thanks to the ever-elusive takeaway.
