SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Game 1 ARIZONA 23, SAN FRANCISCO 13 At San Francisco, September 7, 2008 The San Francisco 49ers dropped their home-opener 23-13 against NFC West rival Arizona. The 49ers turned the ball over five times with four fumbles and one interception. Despite three turnovers in the first half alone, San Francisco managed to head into halftime tied at 10-10. Arizona controlled the ball for over 20 minutes in the second half and added 13 points to essentially seal the victory. The Cardinals took control of the game in the third quarter, chewing 11 minutes off the clock and scoring 10 points before the 49ers even had a chance to run a single offensive play. Arizona took the second half kick and engineered a 15-play, 65-yard drive that elapsed 6:35 off the clock before a 31-yard PK Neil Rackers field goal put the Cardinals in front, 13-10. Rackers pooched the ensuing kick into the second row of the 49ers return unit where LB Takeo Spikes mishandled the ball, resulting in an Arizona fumble recovery and a first down at the San Francisco 33-yard line. Arizona converted that drive into a touchdown when rookie RB Tim Hightower scored on a two-yard run on a fourth-and-one situation for a 20-10 Cardinals lead. San Francisco QB J.T. O Sullivan positioned the 49ers for a 30-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter to close the gap to 20-13. The 49ers comeback chances ended when Arizona went on an 18-play, 62-yard drive field goal drive that took over 10 minutes for a 23-13 advantage. San Francisco fumbled on the first play of the following drive to secure the win for Arizona. O Sullivan made his first NFL start and finished the game 14-of-20 for 195 yards with one interception and two fumbles. After spotting Arizona a 3-0 lead, RB Frank Gore took a handoff and bounced to the outside for a 41-yard touchdown run to give the 49ers a 7-3 lead. Gore finished the game with 96 yards rushing on 14 carries for a 6.9-yard average. A one-yard touchdown pass from QB Kurt Warner to WR Larry Fitzgerald gave the Cardinals a 10-7 second quarter lead before Nedney connected on a 39-yarder with just under two minutes to play in the first half to tie the game at 10-10.

Game 2 SAN FRANCISCO 33, SEATTLE 30 At Seattle, September 14, 2008 The San Francisco 49ers overcame a 14-point first quarter deficit to win 33-30 in overtime after PK Joe Nedney nailed a 40-yard game-winning field goal. After closing the gap to 20-13 at halftime, the 49ers intercepted Seattle on the first two drives of the second quarter, including one that was returned for a touchdown. On the first series of the second half, CB Walt Harris tipped a QB Matt Hasselbeck pass that was picked off and returned 86 yards for a touchdown by LB Patrick Willis to tie the game at 20-20. On the next series, DE Ray McDonald tipped a pass that was intercepted by Harris at the Seattle 41-yard line to help set up the go-ahead touchdown. QB J.T. O Sullivan completed back-to-back passes to WR Bryant Johnson to move the 49ers to the 22-yard line to help get into position for a two-yard touchdown run by RB Frank Gore to lift the 49ers in front, 27-20. Seattle responded with a 15-play, 74-yard drive that ended in a touchdown to tie the game at 27-27. After both teams exchanged field goals to get the score tied at 30-30, the 49ers forced Seattle to punt from its own 12-yard line and the 49ers began a drive at the Seattle 49-yard line with 1:09 to play in regulation. The team moved to the 23-yard line with three seconds to play to set up a game-winning field goal attempt. Nedney s 41-yard attempt sailed wide to the right to send the game to overtime. The 49ers won the toss and elected to receive. O Sullivan completed a 33-yard pass to WR Isaac Bruce on third-and-seven and a five-yard pass to WR Arnaz Battle on a third-and-two situation to push the 49ers to the 23-yard line where Nedney connected on a 40-yard field goal to give San Francisco the win. O Sullivan registered his first 300-yard game, finishing 20-of-32 for 321 yards with one touchdown. Bruce had his first 100-yard game as a member of the 49ers with 153 yards on four catches, including a 63-yard catch in the second quarter to help get the 49ers in position for O Sullivan s threeyard touchdown pass to Johnson. Seattle jumped to a 14-0 first quarter after taking advantage of two miscues by the 49ers. LB Manny Lawson blocked a Seattle punt early in the game, however Seattle recovered the loose ball and converted it into a first down inside San Francisco territory on a drive that ended with a Seattle touchdown. On the next series, Seattle forced Gore to fumble deep in Seahawks territory on a play that resulted in a 10-yard touchdown return by DT Craig Terrill. 49ers...3 10 14 3 3 33 Seahawks...14 6 0 10 0 30 Seahawks Jones 27 run (Mare kick) 9:12 (9-80) Seahawks Terrill 10 fumble recovery (Mare kick) 7:47 49ers Nedney 26 FG 2:36 (9-41) 49ers Nedney 28 FG 7:22 (10-70) Seahawks Mare 51 FG 2:49 (6-18) 49ers Johnson 3 pass from O Sullivan (Nedney kick) 1:42 (4-80) Seahawks Mare 38 FG 0:00 (7-41) 49ers Willis 86 int. return (Nedney kick) 8:46 49ers Gore 2 run (Nedney kick) 6:41 (4-41) Seahawks Duckett 1 run (Mare kick) 14:20 (15-74) Seahawks Mare 32 FG 7:41 (9-41) 49ers Nedney 28 FG 2:42 (12-58) 49ers Nedney 40 FG 10:20 (10-57) 49ers Gore 19-61-1 td, O Sullivan 4-32.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Game 3 SAN FRANCISCO 31, DETROIT 13 At San Francisco, September 21, 2008 The San Francisco 49ers scored over 30 points for the second consecutive week to improve to 2-1 with a 31-13 victory over the visiting Detroit Lions. RB Frank Gore gained 130 yards on the ground, and QB J.T. O Sullivan threw for two touchdown passes to lead the 49ers to the win. The 49ers offense chalked up 370 yards of total offense, including 182 yards on the ground. The 49ers defensive secondary shut down the Lions big receivers in front of the home crowd at Candlestick. Detroit gained just 124 yards in the air, and receivers Roy Williams (two catches for 18 yards) and Calvin Johnson (four catches for 40 yards) were non-factors. The 49ers scored on three straight possessions to take a 21-3 halftime lead. A 33-yard run by Gore positioned the 49ers for O Sullivan s six-yard touchdown pass to WR Isaac Bruce for a 7-0 first quarter lead. An 18-yard run by WR Arnaz Battle on a reverse on the next possession helped get the 49ers in Detroit territory where they took a 14-0 lead on a four-yard touchdown run by Gore. After spotting the Lions a field goal, O Sullivan connected on a 25-yard pass to WR Bryant Johnson followed by an 18-yard pass to WR Josh Morgan and then a 24-yard touchdown pass to TE Delanie Walker for a 21-3 advantage. The only scoring in the third quarter was a field goal by Detroit to close the lead to 21-6 before the 49ers had a ten-point fourth quarter to seal the victory. The 49ers moved to the Detroit one-yard line early in the fourth quarter and were faced with a fourth-and-one situation. Head coach Mike Nolan elected to go for the touchdown rather than attempt a field goal. Eleven-year veteran CB/PR Allen Rossum took a handoff and scored a touchdown on a one-yard run for 28-6 49ers lead. It was Rossum s first NFL offensive play of his career. Detroit responded on the next series when QB Jon Kitna scrambled on a fourth-down play to help set up a 34-yard touchdown pass to RB Rudi Johnson. The Lions attempted an onsides kick on the ensuing drive that Battle picked up and returned 28 yards to the Detroit 12-yard line to set up a 25-yard PK Joe Nedney field goal for a 31-13 lead. DE Justin Smith intercepted a Lions pass with 1:50 left to play to seal the victory for San Francisco.

Game 4 NEW ORLEANS 31, SAN FRANCISCO 17 At New Orleans, September 28, 2008 RB Deuce McAllister s hard running gave the New Orleans Saints the credible power running threat they needed to open deep throws for QB Drew Brees in a 31-17 Saints victory at the Louisiana Superdome. Brees was 23-of-35 for 363 yards and had three scores, including touchdown passes of 47 yards to WR Robert Meachem and 33 yards to WR Lance Moore. Brees also set up scores with a 52-yard pass to Meachem and an 81-yard connection with WR Devery Henderson. McAllister saw his most extensive action of the year, gaining 73 yards on 20 carries, including a one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. The 49ers had three turnovers, including two QB J.T. O Sullivan passes that were intercepted by the Saints in the end zone. Despite the big plays and turnovers, the 49ers still had a chance with four minutes left to play. Leading 28-9 with just over six minutes remaining, New Orleans elected to go for the touchdown on a fourth-and-goal situation from the San Francisco one-yard line. S Michael Lewis forced a fumble that was recovered by LB Patrick Willis following a pass from Brees to FB Olaniyi Sobomehin. The 49ers responded with a touchdown drive that was helped by a 43-yard pass interference penalty against the Saints that gave the 49ers a first down at midfield. O Sullivan completed a 19-yard pass to TE Vernon Davis and a 36-yard pass to WR Arnaz Battle to get in position for a five-yard touchdown pass to WR Isaac Bruce to close the Saints lead to 28-17 after the successful two-point play with 4:08 left in the game. The 49ers tried to get the ball back, but failed to convert the onsides kick attempt, and the Saints took advantage of the good field position with a field goal to seal the victory. After San Francisco took a 3-0 first quarter lead, New Orleans countered with 21 points in the second quarter. Early in the quarter the 49ers had their first turnover when O Sullivan was stripped of the ball on a sack at the 49ers own 32-yard line. That play set up the Saints first touchdown, a five-yard pass from Brees to Moore. Brees had touchdown passes of 33 yards and 47 yards on the Saints next two series sandwiched between a 49ers field goal to take a 21-6 halftime lead. The 49ers opened the second half with a 10-play, 48-yard drive into New Orleans territory but the Saints forced the 49ers to settle for a field goal. The 49ers drove deep into New Orleans territory on their next two drives, but both times O Sullivan was picked off while attempting a pass into the end zone. Battle had his first NFL 100-yard day, finishing with 120 yards on seven receptions. 49ers... 3 3 3 8 17 Saints... 0 21 0 10 31 49ers Nedney 47 FG 7:22 (10-63) Saints Moore 5 pass from Brees (Gramatica kick) 9:31 (6-32) Saints Moore 33 pass from Brees (Gramatica kick) 3:00 (10-65) 49ers Nedney 49 FG 1:44 (6-15) Saints Meachem 47 pass from Brees (Gramatica kick) 0:52 (4-74) 49ers Nedney 38 FG 10:18 (10-48) Saints McAllister 1 run (Gramatica kick) 11:23 (10-91) 49ers Bruce 5 pass from O Sullivan (O Sullivan-Gore pass) 4:08 (6-97) Saints Gramatica 31 FG 0:27 (7-17) 49ers Gore 16-82, Foster 1-9, O Sullivan 2-0.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Game 5 NEW ENGLAND 30, SAN FRANCISCO 21 At San Francisco, October 5, 2008 Three turnovers and an explosive 66-yard touchdown reception by New England WR Randy Moss helped the visiting Patriots beat San Francisco 30-21 to drop the 49ers to a 2-3 record. New England had not traveled to Candlestick Park since 1995 and had never won in San Francisco in four attempts. After a strong start that saw the 49ers take a 14-7 lead on two QB J.T. O Sullivan touchdown passes, the Patriots turned to a ball control offense that kept the 49ers offense off the field for the better part of the second and third quarters. New England dominated the time of possession, holding the ball for 39:52 compared to the 49ers 20:08. The 49ers also had trouble getting first downs, going through a stretch of 36 minutes without a first down during the second and third quarter. O Sullivan threw three touchdown passes, but completed just 14 of 29 passes for 130 yards and was intercepted three times. After striking first on a 16-yard touchdown pass from O Sullivan to RB Frank Gore, the Patriots responded on their next drive going deep with a 66-yard touchdown pass from QB Matt Cassel to Moss to tie the game at 7-7. A 38-yard pass from O Sullivan to WR Isaac Bruce on the ensuing series set up a six-yard pass from O Sullivan to Bruce for a 14-7 advantage. New England controlled the clock for over ten minutes of the second quarter and scored 10 points to take a 17-14 halftime lead. The Patriots went on a 13-play drive that took over six minutes and ended in a field goal to close to 14-10 and then with just over three minutes to play in the first half took a lead they would not relinquish when RB Kevin Faulk capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown after taking a direct snap on a fourth-down play with nine seconds to play in the first half. S Rodney Harrison picked off an O Sullivan pass deep inside San Francisco territory in the third quarter to set up a Patriots touchdown, as New England expanded its lead to 24-14. The 49ers had the ball for only 2:49 of the third quarter. After taking a 27-14 lead on a field goal early in the fourth quarter, the 49ers offense finally was able to move the ball. The 49ers gained four first downs on a drive that went to the New England five-yard line where O Sullivan connected with Bruce for a score that made it 27-21 with over ten minutes still remaining in the game. New England sealed the victory on the ensuing drive when they went on a five minute drive that ended in a 49-yard field goal to make it 30-21 with just over four minutes to play.

Game 6 PHILADELPHIA 40, SAN FRANCISCO 26 At San Francisco, October 12, 2008 The Philadelphia Eagles forced three turnovers during a 23-point fourth quarter of a 40-26 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. CB Donald Strickland returned a blocked field goal 41 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the first half and the momentum carried into the third quarter when the 49ers scored ten points to take a 26-17 lead. After the Eagles rallied back to take a 27-26 lead with 7:38 left to play, the 49ers next three drives ended in turnovers that set up scores for Philadelphia. S Quintin Mikell intercepted a QB J.T. O Sullivan pass and returned it to the San Francisco seven-yard line to set up a short field goal. On the next series, Eagles DE Trent Cole forced a fumble on a sack of O Sullivan, allowing Philadelphia to recover at the San Francisco 20-yard line to set up another short field goal for a 33-26 lead with 1:10 left. San Francisco got past midfield on the next drive when O Sullivan connected with WR Josh Morgan on a 25-yard gain, but two plays later with 48 seconds to play, O Sullivan was picked off by DE Juqua Parker, who returned it 55 yards for a score to seal the 40-26 win. Philadelphia QB Donovan McNabb threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns while RB Correll Buckhalter, playing in place of an injured Brian Westbrook, had 93 yards rushing and 85 yards receiving. Philadelphia took a 7-6 first quarter lead and then added ten points in the second quarter for a 17-6 lead. PK Joe Nedney hit a 53-yard field goal with 34 seconds to play, but Philadelphia moved to the San Francisco 36-yard line with one second remaining on the clock before halftime. The Eagles sent PK David Akers on to the field to attempt a 54-yard field goal. DE Ray McDonald blocked the kick, and Strickland scooped up the loose ball and ran 41 yards for the score to make it a 17-16 game at the half. RB Frank Gore had his second 100-yard game of the year with 101 yards on 19 attempts.

Game 7 NEW YORK GIANTS 29, SAN FRANCISCO 17 At East Rutherford, NJ, October 19, 2008 SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Three costly turnovers, a fumble that rolled out of the end zone for a safety and 13 penalties helped lead the New York Giants to a 29-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers at Giants Stadium. The Giants scored 10 points off two turnovers inside the San Francisco 20-yard line, and QB J.T. O Sullivan was intercepted in the end zone at the end of the half to end a drive that could have tied the game at 17-17. Down 14-10 late in the second quarter, O Sullivan was picked off by S Michael Johnson to give the Giants a first down at the nine-yard line. The 49ers held the Giants to a field goal and got the ball back with 1:44 to play in the first half. O Sullivan completed three straight passes, including a 28-yard pass to WR Isaac Bruce, to move the 49ers to the New York 19-yard line. On the next play, O Sullivan was intercepted by Johnson for a second time. O Sullivan was picked off when he attempted a pass to WR Arnaz Battle in the end zone to end the 49ers scoring threat and secure the Giants a 17-10 halftime lead. The 49ers first offensive series in the third quarter was killed when O Sullivan and RB Frank Gore fumbled the exchange, allowing the Giants to recover at the San Francisco 18-yard line. The Giants converted that turnover into a touchdown when QB Eli Manning connected with WR Plaxico Buress on a six-yard touchdown to extend their lead to 24-10. The Giants moved to the San Francisco 17-yard line late in the third quarter and were on the verge of taking a 17-point lead with a 35-yard field goal attempt. LB Manny Lawson blocked the kick, and CB Nate Clements picked up the ball and raced 74 yards untouched for the score to close the gap to 24-17 heading into the final quarter. The Giants defense proved too much for the 49ers, and New York added five points in the fourth quarter with a 48-yard field goal and a safety to secure the victory. The 49ers were backed at their own 20-yard line when DE Justin Tuck forced a fumble on a sack of O Sullivan. The ball rolled into the end zone and was kicked out of bounds by WR Josh Morgan for a safety. The Giants defense held the 49ers to just 35 yards rushing, including holding Gore to just 11 yards on 11 carries. O Sullivan was sacked six times had two interceptions and lost one fumble and had another one that resulted in a safety. 49ers... 3 7 7 0 17 Giants... 7 10 7 5 29 Giants Jacobs 26 run (Carney kick) 7:52 (4-54) 49ers Nedney 40 FG 4:23 (8-44) Giants Jacobs 2 run (Carney kick) 14:55 (8-73) 49ers Morgan 30 pass from O Sullivan (Nedney kick) 11:25 (6-74) Giants Carney 21 FG 1:52 (4-6) Giants Buress 6 pass from Manning (Carney kick) 9:01 (4-18) 49ers Clements 74 return of blocked field goal (Nedney kick) 1:50 Giants Carney 48 FG 12:17 (9-29) Giants O Sullivan fumble forced by Tuck out of bounds in end zone for a safety 4:57 49ers O Sullivan 4-27, Gore 11-11, Walker 1-(-3).

Game 8 SEATTLE 34, SAN FRANCISCO 13 At San Francisco, October 26, 2008 The Seattle Seahawks burned the 49ers on two fullback swing passes that went for touchdowns and also returned an interception for a score in a 34-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers to ruin Mike Singletary s debut as head coach. Singletary was named head coach following the dismissal of Mike Nolan earlier in the week. Seattle CB Josh Wilson scored on a 75-yard interception return, and Seattle FB Leonard Weaver scored on touchdown passes of 43 and 62 yards to give the 49ers their fifth straight loss. QB J.T. O Sullivan lost a fumble early in the game and then threw the interception that was returned for a touchdown before being replaced by backup QB Shaun Hill at the end of the first half. Both of his turnovers happened inside Seattle territory. Down 3-0 early in the game, O Sullivan connected with TE Delanie Walker for a 53-yard gain to the Seattle 21-yard line. The 49ers moved to the six-yard line when O Sullivan fumbled on a sack. The ball was recovered by DE Patrick Kerney, who raced to the San Francisco 27-yard line to set up a Seahawks field goal and a 6-0 first quarter lead. The Seahawks extended their lead to 13-0 early in the second quarter before the 49ers answered with a field goal to make it 13-3 midway through the second quarter. The 49ers were driving inside Seattle territory and were faced with a fourth-and-four situation from the 29-yard line with 44 seconds to play in the first half. With two time outs remaining the 49ers elected to try to convert on fourth-down, but O Sullivan s pass was picked off and returned for a touchdown to make it 20-6 at the break. Hill completed 15 of 23 attempts for 173 yards with one touchdown in relief. On his first drive in the second half, he took the team on a 14-play, 56-yard drive that ended in a 40-yard field goal to close the gap to 20-6. On the ensuing series, Seattle QB Seneca Wallace completed a short pass to Weaver that resulted in a 43-yard touchdown to put the Seahawks in front, 27-6, heading into the final quarter. A two-yard touchdown pass from Hill to WR Jason Hill closed the gap to 27-13 early in the fourth quarter, but Weaver sealed the Seattle win with a 62-yard touchdown on a swing pass from Wallace with six minutes to play for a 34-13 win.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Game 9 ARIZONA 29, SAN FRANCISCO 24 At Arizona, November 10, 2008 The Arizona Cardinals stopped RB Michael Robinson up the middle on a run from the two-yard line as the game ended to preserve a 29-24 victory against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football at University of Phoenix Stadium. The Cardinals never led in the game until 4:16 left to play when a 34-yard interception return by LB Karlos Dansby set up a fiveyard touchdown pass from QB Kurt Warner to WR Anquan Boldin to give the Cardinals a 29-24 lead after a failed two-point play. San Francisco still had two more chances with drives into Arizona territory. The first one ended when QB Shaun Hill was intercepted by S Adrian Wilson at the 12-yard line. The 49ers defenses stopped the Cardinals on three straight plays on the ensuing series and got the ball back at the Arizona 42-yard line with 1:06 left in regulation. Hill completed three-straight passes to WR Jason Hill, including a 14-yard pass to get to the Arizona one-yard line with 21 seconds left. RB Frank Gore was tripped up on the first run, and then Robinson was stopped on a two-yard run up the middle to secure the Cardinals win. The 49ers took the game s opening kickoff for a touchdown on a 104-yard return by KR Allen Rossun and then jumped in front 21-13 at halftime behind a 31-yard touchdown pass from Hill to WR Josh Morgan and an 18-yard touchdown pass from Hill to TE Vernon Davis. One of the defining moments of that drive was when Hill lost his helmet and still plowed ahead to convert a third-and-11 situation with a 12-yard run. Warner, who finished with 328 yards passing, led the Cardinals on a touchdown drive to start the second half, but the 49ers answered with a field goal drive to keep a 24-20 lead heading into the final quarter. Ball security plagued the 49ers late in the game, leading to nine Arizona points. Hill lost a fumble on an exchange from center at the San Francisco 10-yard line to set up a Cardinals field goal early in the fourth quarter. That was followed by Hill s two interceptions later in the fourth quarter. The 49ers defense held the Cardinals to 46 yards on 19 carries for a 2.4-yard average. The 49ers offense ended Arizona s NFL record of 31 straight games with a sack. 49ers... 7 14 3 0 24 Cardinals... 3 10 7 9 29 49ers Rossum 104 kickoff return (Nedney kick) 14:48 (0-0) Cardinals Rackers 28 FG 9:46 (9-65) 49ers Morgan 31 pass from S.

Game 10 SAN FRANCISCO 35, ST. LOUIS 16 At San Francisco, November 16, 2008 Mike Singletary picked up his first win as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers as the team ended a six-game losing streak with a 35-16 victory over NFC-West rival St. Louis. The 49ers used a 28-point second quarter to jump to a 35-3 halftime lead. QB Shaun Hill threw two touchdown passes, ran for another score and RB Frank Gore rushed for another two to give the 49ers the lead. Hill had a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in the first half and helped the 49ers hold the lead in the second half to secure the win. Hill completed 12-of-14 passes for 192 yards in the first half and finished the game 15-of-20 for 213 yards. Gore registered his 15th career 100-yard rushing game with 106 yards on 18 carries for a 5.9-yard average. The 49ers took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, and after a St. Louis field goal early in the second quarter, the 49ers answered with a 69-yard drive that ended in a two-yard touchdown pass from Hill to TE Vernon Davis for a 14-3 lead. Hill positioned the 49ers for the score with a completion to WR Bryant Johnson that resulted in a 42-yard gain to the St. Louis seven-yard line. The Rams next three drives ended in turnovers, which led to 21 unanswered points by San Francisco. First, Rams QB Marc Bulger lost the exchange from center and the 49ers recovered at the St. Louis 16-yard line to set up Gore s second touchdown on a one-yard run for a 21-3 lead. Then on the following series, Bulger was intercepted by CB Walt Harris to give the 49ers a first down at their own 40-yard line. A 31-yard pass-play from Hill to RB DeShaun Foster gave the 49ers a first down at the one-yard line where Hill scored on a one-yard run up the middle for a 28-3 advantage. On the next St. Louis series, CB Nate Clements intercepted a Bulger pass that gave San Francisco a first down at their own 44-yard line with 1:49 to go in the first half. Hill executed a two-minute drill and took the 49ers to the two-yard line where he connected with Johnson on a two-yard touchdown pass for a 35-3 lead. A 36-yard pass from Hill to RB Michael Robinson was the highlight of that drive. The Rams added two field goals in the third quarter and a touchdown in the fourth quarter for a 35-16 final.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Game 11 DALLAS 35, SAN FRANCISCO 22 At Dallas, November 23, 2008 Dallas Cowboys WR Terrell Owens broke out with 213 yards receiving to help the Cowboys beat San Francisco 35-22 at Texas Stadium. The 49ers had a great chance to grab control early, driving into Dallas territory on their first three drives. After missing a 53-yard field goal, the 49ers faced a first-and-goal from the four on their next two drives but were forced to settle for a pair of field goals and a 6-0 first quarter lead. Dallas took control in the second quarter with 22 unanswered points. The Cowboys took the lead when QB Tony Romo completed a 75-yard touchdown pass to Owens on a third-down play for a 7-6 lead. The Cowboys blocked a punt out of the end zone for a safety on the next set of downs and scored on their last three drives of the second half behind two field goals and a touchdown to build a 22-6 halftime lead. Romo, who threw three touchdowns and had 341 yards passing, connected with Owens for a 45-yard pass for one of the field goals. Dallas s touchdown was set up by a 49ers turnover. QB Shaun Hill lost the exchange from center deep in Dallas territory, and the Cowboys recovered at the San Francisco 19-yard line to set up a one-yard touchdown pass from Romo to TE Martellus Bennett for the 22-6 lead. The Cowboys lead swelled to 29-6 when they took the second half kickoff and went 75 yards before Romo hit WR Patrick Crayton with a pass across the middle in a play that resulted in a 10-yard touchdown. The 49ers responded with a drive to the Dallas 18-yard line but once again were forced to settle for a field goal. The 49ers appeared to get a break later in the third quarter when LB Manny Lawson picked off a lateral pass behind the line of scrimmage for a first down at the Dallas 17-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Hill s attempt to the end zone was intercepted by CB Anthony Henry to end the scoring threat. Dallas increased its lead to 32-6 early in the fourth quarter before the 49ers finally reached the end zone with an 18-yard touchdown pass from Hill to WR Isaac Bruce, who finished the game with eight receptions for 125 yards. The 49ers recovered an onsides kick on the ensuing kickoff but were penalized for being off-sides. Even after being pushed back to the 25-yard line, the 49ers tried again for an onsides kick, but Dallas recovered to set up a field goal that extended their lead to 35-16 lead. Hill, who had his first 300-yard game by finishing 21-of-33 for 303 yards, moved the 49ers to the Dallas nine-yard line before throwing a touchdown pass to RB DeShaun Foster on the next series. Dallas recovered the 49ers onsides kick attempt and ran out the final 3:45 to secure the victory. 49ers...6 0 3 13 22 Cowboys...0 22 7 6 35 49ers Nedney 23 FG 2:39 (10-75) 49ers Nedney 22 FG 0:00 (5-47) Cowboys Owens 75 pass from Romo (Folk kick) 13:54 (3-77) Cowboys Punt blocked by Polk out of bounds in end zone for Safety 12:02 Cowboys Folk 48 FG 7:23 Cowboys Folk 41 FG 3:02 (6-57) Cowboys Bennett 1 pass from Romo (Folk kick) 0:52 (5-19) Cowboys Crayton 10 pass from Romo (Folk kick) 12:04 (7-75) Cowboys Nedney 35 FG 8:23 (8-42) 49ers Folk 47 FG 14:49 (12-51) 49ers Bruce 18 pass from S.Hill (Nedney kick) 8:20 (5-80 Cowboys Folk 42 FG 5:06 (6-17) 49ers Foster 9 pass from S.Hill (pass failed) 3:46 (4-57) 49ers Gore 14-26, S.Hill 1-0.
