San Francisco 49ers survive Cowboys' comeback attempt in NFC wild-card thriller

San Francisco 49ers beats Dallas Cowboys 23-17 advance to Divisional round through Wild Card victory in 2022 NFL Playoffs..








Quarterback Dak Prescott had scrambled with 14 seconds to play. The Cowboys then failed to spike before the clock expired.


The San Francisco 49ers won 23-17, advancing to an NFC division game in Green Bay after a wild-card victory in which the Niners never trailed.



2021 NFL playoffs: What we learned from 49ers' win over Cowboys on Super Wild Card Weekend.



1 -- The better-coached team triumphed. Kyle Shanahan and Co. cooked up a tremendous opening offensive script, covering 75 yards in seven plays for the game's first score, and a resounding punch in the Cowboys' mouth for San Francisco pushed its lead to 13-0 before Dallas woke up.


2. The Cowboys should be very harsh with their analysis of their performance. In a game that produced a total of 23 accepted penalties, the Cowboys committed 14 of them.

3. We reached a point inside the game's final four minutes where it became apparent neither team deserved to win. McCarthy's team wasn't mustering much of anything with the ball, but it was still a two-possession game, so McCarthy conceded on a fourth-and-two and punted late in the third quarter. 

4. Deebo Samuel earned his All-Pro selection and played like one Sunday. San Francisco finished with 341 yards of total offense, but it wasn't exactly a four-quarter clinic on how to move the ball extremely efficiently.

 

5. Great win for the 49ers.  All-Pro Nick Bosa exited Sunday's game with a concussion, while star linebacker Fred Warner suffered an ankle injury that forced him out for the remainder of the game.

With his three field goals Sunday, 49ers kicker Robbie Gould moved into first place for the most career field goals made without a miss in the postseason with 18, passing Chris Boswell (16) and Ryan Succop (14).


 Deebo Samuel gained +22 rushing yards over expected on his 26-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, his second-highest RYOE total on a single run this season.




What's next for San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.




The Cowboys are heading into the offseason,     while the Niners try to topple the top-seeded Green Bay Packers in the NFC Divisional Round.
