Cowboys news: Dallas falls short yet again, drops game to 49ers 30-24

Cowboys news: Dallas falls short yet again, drops game to 49ers 30-24

Notable headlines surrounding America’s team.

No Aiyuk, no McCaffrey, no problem as 49ers pummel Cowboys before hanging on, 30-24 – K.D. Drummond, Cowboys Wire

Another week, another addition to the loss column for Dallas.

The Dallas Cowboys spent their bye week trying to focus in on saving their season despite sitting at .500 with a 3-3 record. The club may have had an even record, but their 42 point differential entering Week 8 was the third-worst in the NFL. They seemed competitive for a half, with Mike McCarthy’s troops taking a four-point lead into the half. At one point they held a seven-point lead, their first time leading by more than three points in 30 days.

But the 10-6 halftime advantage saw them allow the San Francisco 49ers 21 straight points in the third quarter. In the blink of an eye, Dallas was being blown out yet again. And like their game against Baltimore, they tried to rally in the fourth quarter only to fall short in a game that wasn’t as close at it appeared.

The 49ers held on for a 30-24 victory in a loss that dropped Dallas to 3-4 on the season. San Francisco improved to 4-4 on the year.

Quarterback Dak Prescott threw two interceptions, upping his total to eight through seven games. There was not much rhythm at all until the two fourth-quarter drives that featured CeeDee Lamb scoring two touchdowns on 13 reeptions for 146 yards.

3 Cowboys to blame after losing to the 49ers yet again- Zachary Rotman, FanSided

There is plenty of blame to go around.

2) Jerry Jones’ roster just isn’t good enough to be viewed as a serious contender

The Cowboys might not have a Super Bowl win in decades, but they do, at the very least, remain competitive just about every year. They have a streak of three straight 12-win seasons as of this writing, and have been one of the best teams in the NFC in that stretch.

Expectations for this Cowboys team ahead of the 2024 campaign was, as it always is, to win the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, owner and general manager Jerry Jones did very little this offseason to prove that he’s serious about winning right now, and the results are showing.

The Cowboys’ defense is a mess. Their running back room is a mess. With Brandin Cooks out, they don’t have a real WR2 to take any sort of pressure off of CeeDee Lamb. Mike McCarthy has proven time and time again that he isn’t good enough as the head coach.

Gamebreakers: Cowboys who clawed vs. 49ers- Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com

A few players showed some fight late in the game.

DeMarvion Overshown, LB

Overshown scratched and clawed until his fingernails were probably chipped and filled with blood. He’d lead the team in tackles alongside Oruwariye, and delivered in an even bigger capacity when the exhausted defense needed him most. Late in the fourth quarter, with the Cowboys having fought back to a mere 30-24 deficit with less than five minutes remaining in the game, Overshown teleported off of the edge to take Purdy down for a sack that forced an eventual punt. The Cowboys’ offense couldn’t capitalize with a comeback win, but Overshown did give them an opportunity.

Dak Prescott defenders have nowhere to hide after Cowboys’ ugly loss to 49ers – Jerry Trotta, The Landry Hat

The season continues to spiral downhill, and Dak is not blameless.

Cowboys fans at large have defended Prescott against unjust criticisms. However, three consecutive games with multiple interceptions is unacceptable.

Prescott’s second interception looked like an INT the whole way. It was a forced throw to CeeDee Lamb on 3rd-and-4 and Deommodore Lenoir read it the whole way. The Cowboys only trailed 13-10 at the time. A punt in that situation would have been totally fine.

The ball begged to be thrown away, but Prescott tried to make something out of nothing. That is exactly what he did on his first quarter interception when he overshot KaVontae Turpin with Nick Bosa closing in for a sack.

It is clear that Prescott is trying to make plays for a stagnant offense, but for an average team decimated with injuries sometimes less is more.

Don’t be tricked by the final score, either. No team is better at making a lopsided loss appear close than the Cowboys. While there is something to be said that Prescott and Lamb connected for two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to make the 49ers sweat some, Prescott’s play was nowhere near good enough before San Francisco softened up its defense.

Cowboys get dominated in third quarter by the 49ers, drop to 3-4 on the season – Chris Halling, Blogging The Boys

It wasn’t the greatest end to the weekend for Cowboys fans.

Unfortunately, the game flipped on its head in the third quarter, with the Cowboys being out-scored 21-0. The 49ers started with the ball in the second half, and easily drove down the field to take a 13-10 lead. Following the touchdown, QB Dak Prescott gave the ball right back to the 49ers offense, after throwing an interception.

The 49ers then scored again, to take a 20-10 lead. Needing a big response on offense, Dallas answered with a typical three-and-out and punted the ball back to the 49ers who proceeded to score again, expanding their lead to 27-10.

The Cowboys made it interesting in the fourth quarter, bringing it to a one-possession game and having a chance to take the lead late in the game. Having the ball on offense down six points with just three minutes remaining in the game, the offense couldn’t even gain a yard in four plays. Ultimately, their fourth-quarter comeback attempt came up just short and the team dropped their second consecutive game, losing 30-24. The team will look to turn things around next week against a high-powered Falcons offense in Atlanta.
