The San Francisco 49ers' record-breaking streak of close losses came to an end on Sunday, as they lost in grander fashion to the visiting Dallas Cowboys, 40-10.

The game began perfectly for the 49ers -- who forced the Cowboys into a three-and-out on their opening drive -- before it took an unfortunate turn. Rookie wide receiver Trent Taylor failed to properly secure the football after he fielded the ensuing punt, and fumbled the ball back to the visiting team. Three rushes later, running back Ezekiel Elliott found the end zone for the Cowboys' first score.

The 49ers went three-and-out on their next series before punting back to the Cowboys. Dallas' next drive -- assisted by a pair of penalties by cornerback Rashard Robinson -- resulted in another Elliott touchdown.

The 49ers' offense found life in its second drive; rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard -- in his first NFL start -- threw and ran for first downs, and Hyde ran for another. The drive stalled at the Dallas 24-yard line, before kicker Robbie Gould's field goal put the 49ers on the board.

The 49ers had their share of opportunities to score and stay in the game, but failed to capitalize on each opportunity. Down 20-3 at the end of the first half, the Niners drove down to the Dallas 5-yard line before a Beathard fumble ended the drive. On their next posession, the 49ers turned the ball over on downs after a failed fourth-down attempt from the Dallas 28-yard line.

The Cowboys scored touchdowns on their next three possessions, while the 49ers responded with a punt and a second Beathard fumble, before scoring their lone touchdown on a designed quarterback run near the end of the fourth quarter.

Over the course of the game, the 49ers had no answer for Elliott, who compiled 147 yards rushing, 72 yards receiving and three total touchdowns. The Cowboys finished the game with 265 yards on the ground.

Linebacker Reuben Foster -- in his first game back from a Week 1 ankle injury -- left the game with a rib injury. Foster was later cleared to return, but was held out of the remainder of the game by head coach Kyle Shanahan. Right tackle Trent Brown also left the game after being evaluated for a concussion.

Next week, the winless 49ers travel back to the East Coast for their Week 8 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Did the 49ers get better in the first week of free agency?

By Marc Adams
Mar 16

It's been less than one week since the free agency rumors started swirling. The San Francisco 49ers have been busy, from restructuring contracts to seeing some of their own sign elsewhere to bringing aboard new players. They even pulled off a trade. But have they improved their roster this first week of NFL free agency? Let's take a look at which additions and returning players help, and which losses hurt. Additions that help The addition that helped the most is likely edge rusher Leonard Floyd. The veteran pass rusher played in all 17 games last season and hasn't missed a game since 2017. The 49ers have been searching for that edge rusher opposite of Nick Bosa since Dee Ford. Floyd very well could be that guy, finishing with at least nine sacks

Updated list of 49ers draft picks in 2024 after NFL penalty

By David Bonilla
13 hrs

The NFL has penalized the San Francisco 49ers for payroll accounting errors that occurred at the end of the 2022 league year. This has led to the team forfeiting their fifth-round draft pick in 2025 and a reduction in their fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft. San Francisco's fourth-round selection, initially No. 131 overall, now shifts down four spots to the end of the round at No. 135, following the compensatory picks from that round. Despite this setback, the 49ers still possess 10 selections in the 2024 NFL Draft but will be short a pick next year. The team's selections in the upcoming draft are as follows: Round 1, Pick 31 Overall Round
