Week 8 was “National Tight End Day” in the NFL, and many at the position had a full day to help their teams win.

San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle also participated.

Kittle racked up a team-high 128 yards on six catches with a touchdown to help San Fran beat the Dallas Cowboys 30-24 on “Sunday Night Football.” But it wasn’t as easy as it initially seemed for San Francisco.

This game didn’t start all 49ers, as the Cowboys found the end zone first. It was Ezekiel Elliott who broke the plane from one yard out to make it 7-3 early in the second quarter, and they would push that lead to a full seven points after a turnover on 49ers downs led to a field goal from Brandon Aubrey.

But the second half was a completely different beast for these two teams from the very beginning, as the 49ers were finally able to find the colored paint themselves after just five plays, when Isaac Guerendo scored from four yards on the ground after filling in for the injured Jordan Mason.

Then things started to fall apart for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, as the veteran quarterback attempted to loft a pass to CeeDee Lamb down the left sideline. However, Deommodore Lenoir jumped up and pulled in an interception, keeping his body contained to immediately give Brock Prudy and the offense the ball back.

Purdy used his legs to scramble and pick up a key first to score first and the 49ers to score, cashing in with a touchdown pass to Kittle to make it 20-10 as San Fran began to open a gap create.

The lead was blown open after Dallas was forced into a three-and-out, with Purdy sneaking the ball to the line of scrimmage for the two-yard touchdown. At 27-10, this match seemed out of reach given the flow of the second half.

However, the Cowboys understood that they had been out of luck in this building, and after being eliminated at home against the Detroit Lions last week, they had to battle to get back into the game.

They did this midway through the fourth quarter, when Lamb, who had a game-high 146 yards on 13 catches, scored twice on back-to-back drives to cut the 49ers’ lead to 30–24 with 3 to go: 31 to play. .

The Cowboys got the ball back after forcing a punt, giving Prescott and the offense a chance for a potential game-winning drive ahead of an extra-point attempt.

However, Prescott was incomplete on all four of his pass attempts, including one where the Cowboys wanted a pass interference call on fourth-and-10, but the officials kept the yellow wax in their pockets.

Prescott finished the game 25 of 38 for 243 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
