SANTA CLARA – The turf at Levi’s Stadium became an issue again on Sunday when Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker’s plant foot disappeared into a patch of loose sod while attempting field goal.
While Phil Dawson may not find the field conditions anywhere near ideal, it did not prevent him from connecting on his field-goal attempts from 53, 31, 26 and 42 yards in the 49ers’ 25-20 victory over the Ravens on Sunday.
“You never know, going into any game when your opportunities are going to come and how many you’re going to get,” said Dawson, 40, a 17-year NFL veteran.
