Deebo Samuel hadn’t found the end zone since October 4, and he hadn’t even played since October 11, but that changed in a hurry for the 49ers today. On their very first drive, Samuel hauled in an 11-yard touchdown pass, giving the 49ers a quick 7-3 lead. Talk about making an entrance! The red-clad crowd at AT&T Stadium was roaring, chanting “Dee-bo!” after that play.
The 49ers Offense Shows Up Fast
That opening drive was an absolute clinic, an eight-play, 78-yard march down the field. Quarterback Brock Purdy was locked in, going a perfect 4-for-4 for 59 yards, including that touchdown strike to Samuel. New guy Keenan Allen, who was acquired in a trade last week, also got in on the action, snatching a 6-yard pass on the drive. Even a sack by Kenny Clark early on couldn’t stop them, thanks to a defensive holding call against Caleb Downs. The Niners just kept rolling.
Cowboys Settle for Three
The Dallas Cowboys, playing at home, did get on the board first, but they had to settle for a field goal. Their opening drive went 35 yards in eight plays, ending with Brandon Aubrey nailing a 52-yard field goal. That’s a decent kick, but it only puts them down 7-3.
Right now, the 49ers are showing they mean business, even with Samuel returning after some time off. They’ve grabbed the momentum early. It’s still super early in this game, but that quick touchdown from Samuel set a huge tone. Who knows what else is coming in this matchup!
