Two years in a row the Dallas Cowboys have flubbed their last-ditch drives against the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs. Last year, Dak Prescott ran too far on a quarterback draw and handed the ball to his center instead…
ARNIE STAPLETON Associated Press For the second straight season, the Dallas Cowboys — the team that popularized the"Hail Mary" pass almost 50 years ago — never even had a prayer of heaving it into the end zone against the San Francisco 49ers.
Elliott was bowled over as soon as he got off the low snap and 49ers cornerback Jimmie Ward blew up Dak Prescott's pass to wide receiver Kavontae Turpin. On Sunday, the breakdowns came in bunches for the Cowboys, the final play only the capstone of a comedy of missteps and miscalculations by Dallas, which failed to make it past the divisional round for a 26th straight season.
There's a couple of more plays right there that the Cowboys could have had once they got the ball back at their 6 with just 45 seconds and no timeouts remaining. .On third-and-1 from the Dallas 15, Prescott hit Schultz with a 9-yard pass with 28 seconds remaining. But Schultz wasn't going forward as he went out of bounds on a hit by cornerback Charvarius Ward, so the clock kept ticking and went all the way down to 14 seconds before Prescott took the next snap and threw incomplete.
