The team also could get kicker <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"5McX4ppvEU7zTv7P\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/jake-moody-5McX4ppvEU7zTv7P\/\">Jake Moody<\/a> (ankle) back for that game and a pair of defenders, linebacker Greenlaw (Achilles) and defensive lineman <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"BtxPiOCBVePj8BAz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/yetur-gross-matos-BtxPiOCBVePj8BAz\/\">Yetur Gross-Matos<\/a> (knee), a few weeks after that. It\u2019s also possible the 49ers make a trade before the Nov. 5 deadline.<\/p>\n<p>A defensive lineman, perhaps a defensive end, makes sense considering how light the team is behind <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"ahF0mNm2RkiMq4Se\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/nick-bosa-ahF0mNm2RkiMq4Se\/\">Nick Bosa<\/a> and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"8Itq1mLAmeamKQM5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/leonard-floyd-8Itq1mLAmeamKQM5\/\">Leonard Floyd<\/a> as well as how many are available on teams that are fading out of the playoff race. <em>\u2014 Matt Barrows, 49ers beat writer<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>49ers continue to get big contributions from strong rookie class<\/h2>\n<p>One of Sunday\u2019s standouts was Guerendo, who took over for <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"P7pb1hturRnejFF7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/jordan-mason-P7pb1hturRnejFF7\/\">Jordan Mason<\/a> in the first quarter after Mason aggravated a shoulder injury sustained in Week 6. Guerendo gained 85 yards and scored his first <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/\">NFL<\/a> touchdown, from four yards out, in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Mason\u2019s injury left the 49ers with just two healthy tailbacks on the active roster, Guerendo and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"RdWzPHHHWa4JM63i\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/patrick-taylor-jr-RdWzPHHHWa4JM63i\/\">Patrick Taylor Jr.<\/a> with Deebo Samuel also filling in throughout the game and logging the most snaps in any game this season. San Francisco also got a 39-yard run from <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"UQKofs2HjJHwKrXX\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/ricky-pearsall-UQKofs2HjJHwKrXX\/\">Ricky Pearsall<\/a> on an end around.<\/p>\n<p>Samuel, who was questionable after being hospitalized with pneumonia last week, finished with 15 on the ground and another 71 through the air. A 66-yard Samuel touchdown was called back due to a penalty. Samuel suffered a rib injury late in the game and did not play the final eight minutes of the contest. The upcoming bye week ought to give Samuel\u2019s rib and Mason\u2019s shoulder a chance to heal.<\/p>\n<p>And it will give McCaffrey another week to get up to speed for a Week 10 return in Tampa. <em>\u2014 Barrows<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What you see is what you get from Dallas<\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys came out of their bye week last season and started hitting their stride. They won six of their next seven. Sunday night showed, just in case you were holding out hope, that\u2019s probably not happening this time around. The comeback attempt was nice, but ultimately the plays weren\u2019t made when needed most. Maybe <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"RWlSVWRKTM8kckap\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/micah-parsons-RWlSVWRKTM8kckap\/\">Micah Parsons<\/a> and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"jaHAZ9PRobBy6lf1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/demarcus-lawrence-jaHAZ9PRobBy6lf1\/\">DeMarcus Lawrence<\/a> and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"y8KgGRhMt5zi5zSp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/daron-bland-y8KgGRhMt5zi5zSp\/\">DaRon Bland<\/a> return and the defense improves.<\/p>\n<p>But this really doesn\u2019t look anything like a team that\u2019s about to get hot and keep pace with the NFC\u2019s best. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones have been asked several times over the last few weeks about potentially making moves at the trade deadline. Neither have made it sound like there is much interest.<\/p>\n<p>So barring something very unexpected, what you see is what you get with this year\u2019s Cowboys team. And that doesn\u2019t look like it will be enough for another playoff appearance. <em>\u2014 Jon Machota, Cowboys beat writer<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Cowboys\u2019 third-quarter collapse<\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys completely collapsed in the third quarter, turning a 10-6 halftime lead to a 27-6 deficit when the fourth quarter began.<\/p>\n<p>The defense, which was holding on by a thread in the first half, gave up three touchdowns in the third quarter. The Cowboys\u2019 offense, which left a lot of points on the field in the first half, scored zero points in the third quarter and contributed to the defense\u2019s hardships, thanks to a bad Prescott interception deep in the Cowboys\u2019 own territory.<\/p>\n<p>It led to another fourth quarter rally in garbage time for the Cowboys that inevitably fell short because of a three-and-out with the game on the line. <em>\u2014 Saad Yousuf, Cowboys beat writer<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Required reading<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>(Photo: Lachlan Cunningham \/ Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5878780\/2024\/10\/28\/49ers-cowboys-sunday-night-football-takeaways\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Matt Barrows, Jon Machota, Saad Yousuf and Hunter Patterson The San Francisco 49ers withstood a late charge from the visiting Dallas Cowboys to win 30-24 on \u201cSunday Night Football.\u201d &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=119352\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=119352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119352\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=119352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=119352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=119352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
