The talk surrounding Dallas's mishaps in Sunday's wild-card loss to the the 49ers has filled Monday's headlines, but one fourth-quarter blunder nearly cost San Francisco its victory.
Leading 23–17 with 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the 49ers tried to execute a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1 from the Dallas 38-yard line that would have effectively ended the game. However, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo didn't allow offensive lineman Trent Williams enough time to get set as he moved down the line.
The penalty led to a 49ers subsequent punt, allowing the Cowboys to take over before their ill-fated and controversial final drive.
