If you are a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, you probably had this sinking feeling early in the second quarter of the game against the San Francisco 49ers. The offense had failed to capitalize on a good opening drive thanks to a false start penalty on Keith Smith and a rare Dan Bailey missed field goal attempt. Then the Dallas defense was unable to get off the field on two consecutive touchdown drives by the Niners, as they amassed 143 yards and converted all seven third downs they faced. After having to punt the ball back to San Francisco yet again, the Cowboys were faced with the very real possibility that things were going to get out of hand.
