Basketball is typically referred to as a game of runs with an up-and-down nature to its scoring. Obviously, it was not a basketball game, but Sunday night’s tilt between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys was like a game of runs, especially in the second half.
After a first half that saw the two teams combine for 16 points, the 49ers got hot, scoring 21 points in the third quarter to take control of the game. Dallas responded with 14 points of its own in the fourth quarter, putting a scare into what ultimately was a 30-24 49ers win.
