WATCH: Prescott divine as Cowboys take lead, but oh, that kicker…

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys responded after the interception but the Maher nightmare continued on the extra point. | From @CDBurnett7

The Cowboys offense got off to a slow start and an ugly interception from quarterback Dak Prescott took the wind out of the sails early in San Francisco. Wide receiver Michael Gallup lacked effort on the play but the defense stepped up after the mishap, only allowing a field goal on a short field.

On the next Dallas drive, the offense responded. The run game delivered with five runs for 25 yards, which set up a big play to wide receiver Noah Brown during the drive for 18 yards. This included a fourth-down conversion from wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, discarding a defender. Two plays later, the play-action struck again with a touchdown to tight end Dalton Schultz.

Prescott was 7-7 on the drive for 41 yards, plus a key 11-yard designed run that got Dallas within goal-to-go.

Following the huge response, the Brett Maher chronicles continued. A kick that looked ugly off his foot was blocked and it’s 6-0 Dallas. If it wasn’t already, it may be time to start going for two.
