Dallas Cowboys Dominate 49ers in 2017 Road Win

The Dallas Cowboys entered their Week 7 trip to San Francisco in 2017 with a 2-3 record, coming off their bye week and trying to stop a two-game losing streak. Ezekiel Elliott was the star of the show, finishing with 147 rushing yards, 72 receiving yards, and three total touchdowns. Dak Prescott was sharp, completing 16 of 25 passes for 234 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 134.0 passer rating. The game started with a special-teams mistake by the 49ers, and the Cowboys capitalized with Elliott punching in a one-yard touchdown. A few minutes later, Elliott scored again, this time from 25 yards out, giving the Cowboys a 14-0 lead. Robbie Gould answered with a 42-yard field goal for the 49ers, but the game already felt tilted heavily toward Dallas. And then Prescott found Jason Witten for an 18-yard touchdown, stretching the lead in the second quarter. The knockout came on Dallas' first possession of the second half, with Prescott dumping the ball to Elliott, who turned it into a 72-yard touchdown. The Cowboys' 501 total yards and 265 rushing yards were too much for the 49ers to handle. But what made this game stand out was the performance of Elliott, who had a career-high 219 yards from scrimmage. So the Cowboys' 30-point victory at Levi's Stadium was a much-needed win, and it showcased the team's offense at its best. The final score was 40-10, with the Cowboys dominating from start to finish. Prescott's passer rating was a testament to his accuracy and decision-making, and Elliott's rushing yards were a key factor in the team's success. The game was played on Sunday, October 22, 2017, at 4:05 p.m. ET, and it was a memorable one for the Cowboys. With this win, the Cowboys improved their record to 3-3, and they were able to build momentum for the rest of the season.
