Kellen Moore doesn't shy away from throwing the ball after the interception as Dak Prescott throws the ball on the opening two plays of the drive, one to Noah Brown for a short gain before he finds CeeDee Lamb for a first down.

Dallas kicker Brett Maher had a nightmare last week, missing FOUR extra points in a row - and although the Cowboys have stuck with him this week, apparently the team have drawn up a few extra two-point conversion plays in case he hasn't got rid of those kicking yips...

Dallas Cowboys 0-3 San Francisco 49ers

After the first down the Cowboys defence stiffens up giving the 49ers offence little room to operate. On third down Brock Purdy scrambles around in the backfield before throwing the ball away.

Out trots Robbie Gould and his 26-yard field goal attempt is good.

Former NFL tight end Greg Olsen on Fox:

“He effectively ran the route for Gallup so I’m not sure why Prescott has let that ball go, maybe he couldn’t see him but that’s been the thing with Dak all season and that’s turnovers and it’s happened again.”

On third-and-16, Brock Purdy fires a pass into Brandon Ayiuk 17 yards downfield and the 49ers are now set up with a first-and-goal.

The coverage from Dallas so far has been suffocating and Brock Purdy has nowhere to go as he wrestled down by Demarcus Lawrence on first down.

On second down Dak Prescott drops back to pass, and it is a terrible read by the quarterback who has thrown the most interceptions in the league this season.

Deommodore Lenoir runs the route for Michael Gallup on the left sideline, he undercuts the wide receiver as Prescott lets go of the ball and gives the hosts the ball inside the Cowboys 30.

The 49ers take a shot to the endzone on second down but Purdy rolling to his left away from his strong hand underthrows Brandon Ayiuk that is almost picked off.

With nothing doing on third down, Mitch Wishnowsky is out to punt and his kick bounces inside the 5 but takes a Cowboys bounce into the endzone for a touchback.

San Francisco are sticking with the ground game early and get a first down on three straight rushes.

Kyle Shanahan as he has done so often this season uses the strong running to dial up a play-action pass and Brock Purdy finds George Kittle 31 yards into Cowboys territory.

Former NFL tight end Greg Olsen on Fox on the 49ers offence:

“These are the chunk plays that they’re able to generate because of how dynamic and versatile their players are in all types of formations.”

That's some chain...

After that opening first down, All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner slices through the offensive line to stop Tony Pollard before he can get going.

There is a short gain on second down but Dak Prescott's third down pass over the middle is batted away by Warner and the 49ers will get the ball back.

Dallas' opening drive gets off to a bad start as left tackle Tyler Smith is called for holding on Nick Bosa. There is a short gain on second down before Dak Prescott finds TY Hilton for a 16 yard gain and the first down.

It is a great start for the Dallas Cowboys on defence, they stuff a first down run from Christian McCaffrey before sacking Brock Purdy on second down for a nine-yard loss.

Third down is better for the 49ers but it only gets them back to the original line of scrimmage and they will punt.

The final game of the Divisional Round is underway as the Dallas Cowboys kick-off and we will get our first look at Brock Purdy tonight.
