49ers grind past Cowboys in defensive struggle

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- With two great defenses in the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, it's no surprise Sunday's NFC divisional round game was a low-scoring affair.

In the end, the Niners did just enough to pull away in the fourth quarter for a 19-12 win to advance in the playoffs.

The 49ers will travel to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday (3:00 p.m. ET, Fox) in the NFC Championship Game.
