It has been a while since the Dallas Cowboys defense was this dominant.
Five weeks, in fact, have passed since the Cowboys’ asserted themselves so well on defense when they held the New York Giants to three points in the season opener.
The Cowboys held the San Francisco 49ers to 290 total yards in a smothering 40-10 win Sunday afternoon at Levi’s Stadium. It’s the fewest yards for the 49ers in their past five games.
Part of their struggles can be attributed to rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard, who made his first start Sunday.
