As the game approaches its final stretch, the Dallas Cowboys found some offensive momentum, cutting into the San Francisco 49ers’ lead with a key touchdown drive. … and then another, with CeeDee Lamb the two-TD hero – and suddenly Dallas is down just 30-24.
Down 27-10 as they entered the fourth quarter, the Cowboys put together a much-needed scoring drive, capped by a seven-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. The score brings Dallas within 10 points of San Francisco, making it a 27-17 contest with 7:58 left in the game.
Dallas took possession at their own 30-yard line, facing immediate pressure. A defensive pass interference penalty granted the Cowboys a critical first down near midfield after an incomplete third-down pass. Prescott seized the opportunity, finding wide receiver KaVontae Turpin on fourth down, who advanced the ball to the 49ers’ 29-yard line with a 16-yard reception. With the drive in full swing, Prescott targeted Lamb for a 15-yard completion, setting up first-and-goal at San Francisco’s five-yard line. Prescott connected with Lamb again two plays later for the touchdown that brought Dallas back into contention.
