It was a close one for the San Francisco 49ers as they narrowly defeated the Dallas Cowboys under the Sunday night football spotlight at Levi’s Stadium.
The 49ers flipped a 10-6 halftime deficit into a 27-10 lead by the fourth quarter, paving the way for a 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys that leveled the Niners’ record to 4-4.
George Kittle also became only the fifth player in 49ers history to reach 500 career receptions, doing so on a 27-yard grab that set up quarterback Brock Purdy’s touchdown run.
Rookie Isaac Guerendo delivered a career-best outing and could have scored a second touchdown, but wisely slid short of the goal line on a 14-yard run, setting up a victory kneel-down to cap the victory.
Next up for the 49ers is a Week 9 bye, for the third straight season. That rest and reboot led to a 9-0 finish in the 2022 regular season and a 7-2 push last year. The 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals are tied atop the NFC West with matching records; the Los Angeles Rams are 3-4.
