Week 8 Player of the Game

A first half owned by the Dallas Cowboyswho led 10-6 were all 49ers in the second half and quickly jumped to a 27-10 lead by the end of the third quarter.

Dallas closed the gap in large part thanks to its Week 8 player, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who recorded 13 receptions on 17 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns.

No. 88’s impressive performance celebrated his first 100-yard game of the season, his first since last December, and the 19th of his career. Lamb’s yardage and targets set new team and season highs for a Cowboys receiver, making him the first Cowboys player to eclipse the 100-yard mark this season.

Additionally, Lamb’s two touchdowns marked his third and fourth of the season and helped Dallas turn a 27-10 49er lead into a narrow 30-24 score. The All-Pro has now totaled 45 receptions for 613 yards and four touchdowns on the season.

Dallas regained possession after the defense forced a San Francisco punt, setting up the offense at their own 25-yard line. However, after four consecutive incompletions and a failed fourth down attempt, the 49ers took control of the game and ran out the clock.

The loss drops Dallas to 3-4 on the season and will play the Atlanta Falcons again on the road next Sunday.
