Early problems

Cowboys are a little sloppy early, ay?

A 49-yard field goal attempt was nullified by a holding penalty...

Patrick Watkins' attempt to bat a Dallas punt near the San Francisco goal line didn't work out well (touchback)...

And San Francisco just got a first down thanks to an encroachment on Jay Ratliff.

Then again, good pass protection and a stop on Frank Gore's rush has them getting the ball back, so maybe not so bad.
