The Dallas Cowboys won the toss and once again Mike McCarthy chose to take the ball first. It has become quite clear that he feels his team needs to play with a lead and he has tried to get one as best as he could.
Unfortunately that effort fell short. Dallas picked up 16 yards across 5 plays before punting and strangely handed it off to Hunter Luepke of all people on 3rd and 5 before doing so. Dalvin Cook did not see any work on that drive.
The 49ers moved the ball in somewhat vintage fashion in terms of what we know from this team.
