The 49ers have blown some big leads this season, so their 17-point lead over the Cowboys early in the fourth quarter on Sunday night didn’t exactly put anyone at ease about the end result.

The way the fourth quarter went, neither did it. The 49ers allowed the lead to be cut to six points after two touchdowns by Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb and Dallas got the ball back with a chance to win with three minutes left. The 49ers forced four straight incompletions to seal the 30-24 win, but linebacker Fred Warner wasn’t bragging when all was said and done.

“I was frustrated it’s clear we made it a game where that wasn’t necessary, especially defensively,” Warner said via 49ersWebzone.com. ‘Free gifts, they didn’t have to earn it. 88 (Lamb) is wide open, their best player. We can’t let that happen. We put ourselves in that situation, so we had to get out of it. It was about going out there and finishing the game, and we did that.”

The 49ers have had their problems, but no one has walked away with the NFC West and they can hope for better health in the second half of the season, so the frustrations of the first two months may soon give way to smiles about what’s next. holds in San Francisco.
