Dollas Cowboys Vs 49ers

The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers game in Week 5 of "Sunday Night Football" was widely anticipated to be a duel between two of the NFC's finest clubs. Dallas was out for payback after losing to a rival team in the postseason twice in a row, going all the way back to the 1990s.

However, the Niners demonstrated that they are currently playing in a class of their own with their 42-10 thrashing of the Cowboys. The two NFL teams still undefeated are the Philadelphia Eagles and the Niners, who met in the NFC Championship Game the previous season.

Brock Purdy, who finished with four passing touchdowns and improved to 10-0 as a starter in the regular season, found tight end George Kittle on three occasions, all of which were touchdown throws.

Kittle caught his second touchdown of the game on a 38-yard trick play.

Christian McCaffrey tied the record set by Cowboys running back and Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith in 1995 by scoring a touchdown in 14 consecutive games.

In the opening quarter, linebacker Fred Warner caused a fumble and then picked off Dak Prescott, who ended up with three interceptions. The Cowboys offense, outgained 170-57 on the ground, depended entirely on Prescott's arm for any firepower.

It was the Cowboys' second-biggest loss under head coach Mike McCarthy.

Cowboys against. 49ers highlights

Cowboys against. 49ers: winners-losers

49ers WINNERS: Two of the NFC's top teams were expected to compete in the Sunday night matchup. The 49ers issued a statement that reverberated after the game.

The 49ers won handily, dominating the Cowboys, particularly in the second half.

Brock Purdy: Purdy was a productive player for the 49ers who commanded the attacking side of the ball and made accurate passes.

With a passer rating of 144.4, Purdy completed 17 of 24 passes for 252 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions.

The game was out of control when Purdy checked out in the fourth quarter.

Fred Warner: Showing why so many people believe he is the best inside linebacker in the NFL, Warner performed admirably under the spotlight. Warner was a defensive end that was everywhere on the field and seemed to be near the football all the time. He was a full-time linebacker during the game.

In the win, Warner recorded the most tackles for the team with eight, one sack, one interception, and one forced fumble.

George Kittle: On Sunday night, Kittle had the ideal catch-to-touchdown ratio.

Kittle caught three passes that ended in touchdowns.

Christian McCaffrey: The adaptable running back reached the end zone for the 14th straight game, including playoff games, despite only managing 78 yards from scrimmage.

PERSONS LOSE

Dak Prescott: During the second half, Prescott had an interception on three consecutive possessions. When the match became too intense, he was eventually replaced by Cooper Rush. Prescott completed 153 yards on 14 of 24 passes attempted. Only one score and three interceptions were his total.

Cowboys offense: There were just eight first downs for the team. Dallas committed four turnovers for every four third downs that were converted. They were limited to just three points in the second half during a big San Francisco scoring run, and they were only able to gain 197 yards overall.

Cowboys defense: Allowing 259 yards per game into Week 5, the Cowboys defense was ranked second in the NFL. Dallas gave up 421 yards to the 49ers' passing game. In every half, the 49ers scored 21 points. — Tarzan Tyler

A painful loss for the Cowboys

The Cowboys' injury list just keeps getting longer. Early in the fourth quarter, linebacker Leighton Vander Esch hurt his neck while stopping Jordan Mason's 26-yard touchdown run. The sixth-year veteran, who has previously experienced neck problems, lay in the turn for a few minutes as medical staff treated to him. In the end, Vander Esch got up and moved independently through the locker room.

Vander Esch's eligibility to play again was officially deemed "questionable" by the team.

Unofficially, there's scarcely a compelling case to bring Mason back given that his touchdown increased the 49ers' lead to 42-10.

When he left the game, Vander Esch led the Cowboys with 10 tackles, 4 of which were solo. — Bell Jarrett

Backup quarterbacks are now playing.

Two backup quarterbacks have joined the game, which is a sign that things have gotten out of control.

Sam Darnold took Brock Purdy's position for the San Francisco 49ers. Purdy went 17 of 24 for 252 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 144.4 rating.

Dak Prescott intercepts something else.

In the Bay Area, it's currently turning into an interception party.

In three consecutive possessions, Dak Prescott has thrown three interceptions. With with 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the 49ers lead has exploded to 42-10.

The 49ers are now playing with abandon.

Jordan Mason received a handoff through the left side of the line and ran 26 yards for a touchdown on the opening play after Fred Warner's interception. On seven carries, he has gained up to 59 rushing yards.

With 13:59 remaining in the game, San Francisco was ahead 42–10.— Bumbaca Chris

Fred Warner adds another interception to his great game.

For the Cowboys, things are becoming worse.

On consecutive plays, Dak Prescott threw another interception. Wide receiver Michael Gallup was the target of Prescott's pass, but 49ers defender Fred Warner intercepted it after it was tipped up in the air.

For the game, Warner has racked up eight tackles, one sack, one interception, and one forced fumble. The Dragon Tyler

49ers35, Cowboys10: Brock Purdy completes his fourth touchdown pass of the game, which went to a different player than George Kittle for once.

To ensure that the much-anticipated prime-time game was a landslide, Purdy faked a handoff to Christian McCaffrey, rolled right, and handed the ball to fullback Kyle Juszczyk.

The touchdown completed a 12-play, 62-yard drive that accounted for 6:42 of total time.

The Niners have generated 114 total yards from three guys on the ground, compared to the Cowboys' 34 rushing yards. — Bumbaca Chris

Three quarters in, the 49ers are leading.

The Niners had defeated the Los Angeles Rams by seven points in Week 2 and had won their first four games of the season by an average of 16.8 points per game going into Week 5.

After three quarters, San Francisco is well on its way to yet another lopsided victory.

The Niners will start the fourth quarter on the Cowboys' 1-yard line, leading 28-10 after three quarters.— Bumbaca Chris

The 49ers defeat Dak Prescott

In their game against the Cowboys, the 49ers are beginning to show who is superior.

Safety Tashaun Gipson intercepted off Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott after San Francisco had increased their lead to 28-10. Prescott's interception was returned 26 yards to the San Francisco 38-yard line by Gipson.

Prescott's interception was the Cowboys' second mistake of the encounter. The Dragon Tyler

Cowboys 10, 49ers 28: George Kittle gets his third touchdown

The Cowboys had one of the best defenses in the league going into this game. However, the 49ers offense is still forcing its way on the team. Once again, Brock Purdy was finding people with ease as he found Brandon Aiyuk for 23 yards and then found Deebo Samuel with an intermediate pass for a 43 yard catch and run.
