Things have not been going well for the Dallas Cowboys in their trip to the San Francisco Bay. After allowing a touchdown on the game’s opening possession, the teams traded fumbles deep in Dallas territory and eventually the 49ers used the short field for a second score and a 14-0 lead.
Finally, Dallas’ offense awoke. On the subsequent drive, the Cowboys finally got a first down and decided they might as well keep going down the field. Eventually they worked their way down to the SF 26-yard line and that’s when quarterback Dak Prescott found WR Kavontae Turpin streaking down the right side for the score.
A response from Dallas to get on the board! 🙌

The emotion would be shortlived however as the penalty prone defense allowed the 49ers to answer right back and drive the field for another touhdown.
Dallas trails 21-7 with a little more than two minutes remaining in the first half.
