Dak Prescott and Tony Pollard collided in the backfield on a botched handoff that forced yet another field-goal try for the Dallas Cowboys inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.
The Cowboys came out of the rout of the Patriots 29th in the NFL in touchdown rate inside the 20 at 36.8%.
The upside for the Cowboys: Rookie kicker Brandon Aubrey still hasn’t missed amid all the stalls in the red zone. The 28-year-old is 13 of 13, becoming the eighth kicker in NFL history with at least that many makes in a perfect start to a career. The record is 18.Cornerback DaRon Bland had his second interception return for a touchdown this season against the Patriots, after linebacker Leighton Vander Esch scooped up a fumble and scored.
“That’s a good thing, isn’t it?” McCarthy said. “We’ve led the league the last two years in takeaways. It’s no surprise for us as far as how our guys play.”The mental hurdle of facing the unbeaten 49ers is substantial for the Cowboys, who have lost to San Francisco in the playoffs each of the past two seasons.
