Week 8 in the NFL was a special one for tight ends, and George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers made sure to join the celebration. He put up an impressive performance with 128 yards on six catches, including a touchdown, to help his team secure a 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football.”
The game didn’t start off smoothly for the 49ers, as the Cowboys scored first with Ezekiel Elliott finding the end zone from one yard out. However, the 49ers were able to turn things around in the second half. Isaac Guerendo stepped in for the injured Jordan Mason and scored a touchdown to kick off a series of successful plays for the 49ers.
Things took a turn for the worse for the Cowboys when Deommodore Lenoir intercepted a pass from Dak Prescott, setting up another touchdown for the 49ers. The lead continued to grow as the 49ers capitalized on their opportunities, leaving the Cowboys in a tough spot.
Despite being down, the Cowboys fought back in the fourth quarter, with CeeDee Lamb scoring two touchdowns to cut the 49ers’ lead to 30-24 with just over three minutes left in the game. The Cowboys had a chance to pull off a comeback, but Prescott was unable to connect on his pass attempts, resulting in a turnover on downs.
In the end, the 49ers held off the Cowboys’ late rally to secure the win. Brock Purdy had a solid performance, throwing for 260 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 50 yards and a score. Deebo Samuel contributed with 71 receiving yards and 15 rushing yards before leaving the game due to injury.
Despite the Cowboys’ efforts to come back, the 49ers’ strong performance in the second half ultimately sealed the victory. It was a hard-fought game between the two teams, with both sides showcasing their talents on the field.
