SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The frustration from back-to-back playoff losses to San Francisco that both ended on odd plays turned to humiliation for the Dallas C
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner, left, sacks Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott during the first half of an NFL football game in Santa Clara, Calif., Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023.
The defense that had been so stingy the first four weeks was completely exposed. The offense took more than a quarter to gain even a single first down and couldn’t move the ball or protect it. Dak Prescott was under pressure from San Francisco’s relentless defense right from the start as the Cowboys began the game with three three-and-outs and a lost fumble by Tony Pollard.
That set up another Niners touchdown and Prescott then threw interceptions on the next two drives, giving him three in a span of just six offensive plays. The Cowboys lost again in the divisional round last season on the road 19-12 with the game ending on a play that featured running back Ezekiel Elliott at center that never had a chance.
