The biggest news was the defense and special teams forced three fumbles that they recovered. The Cowboys turned two into touchdowns, and the third took points off the board for San Francisco right before the half.
The defense also sacked C.J. Beathard five times, giving the team 21 in six games, tied for sixth in the NFL. DeMarcus Lawrence kept his sack streak alive with a strip-sack, leaving him with 9.5 in six games, second in the NFL, and one game less than the leader, Calais Campbell of Jacksonville.
The linebacking and secondary is still a work in progress.
