49ers score late TDs,
drop Cowboys 31-14
IRVING (AP) — Not even Hers-
chel Walker could have saved the
Dallas Cowboys from a loss on Sun
day to those ultimate NFL road war
riors, the San Francisco 49ers.
The defending world champions
inflicted a sixth consecutive loss on
the Walker-less Cowboys 31-14 on
Sunday in which Dallas could pro
duce only 60 yards rushing.
“It was a 10 a.m. (West Coast time)
game for us and we didn’t wake up
until 1 p.m. or 2 p.m.,” said San
Francisco coach George Seifert. “Ev
ery game is a dogfight for us.”

they’ve done all year,” Johnson said.
“They made the plays in the fourth
quarter to win when they had to.”
