After holding the Los Angeles Rams to 185 total yards in Week 1, San Francisco’s defense has given up more than 400 yards in the past three games, with Dallas producing 428. Bryant was diagnosed with a hairline knee fracture, but Rapoport reported that the injury is commonly referred to as a bone bruise, per a source who has seen Bryantâs test results. He played only 4 games previous year, and did not make it out of the preseason healthy. Already without Tony Romo, the Cowboys have still managed to average 25.7 points and 389.7 yards per game on offense this season.

Gabbert threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Kerley with 6:41 left in the first quarter, giving the 49ers a 7-0 edge. That means the 49ers can’t afford costly penalties, devastating injuries or game-altering turnovers. I went over to push him to make sure he was on the ground.
But San Francisco’s hot start would be negated by a surge of Dallas’ own, as the visiting team would rebuttal with two quick scores to notch things up at 14. The unit also likely will be missing two stalwarts, linebacker NaVorro Bowman and lineman DeForest Buckner, who were injured in the second half.

After gaining 143 yards, scoring two touchdowns and all six third-down opportunities in the first two drives, San Francisco was held to 152 yards, three points and just two third-down conversions over the final 43:55.

At least the Cowboys fans know the future of the club will one day belong to #4 Dak Prescott. Instead of relying on a journeyman veteran such as Brandon Weeden or Matt Cassel, the Cowboys have a young, energetic rookie quarterback playing beyond his experience in Dak Prescott. The second stretched 52 yards over 10 plays and was capped by the first of two first-half field goals by Dan Carpenter. “So that’s big, and we’ve just got to keep going”. Before the season started how many figured we would be saying must win when it came to the 49ers? Like Russell Wilson and Cam Newton, Prescott is precise and quick-witted, and his ability to both pass and run the ball will surely give the San Francisco 49ers defense trouble. In his seven-year Dallas career, Bryant has been AWOL or late to these team functions somewhere between 20 and 40 times. “I think the win just shows the character”.
