The 2014 Season At A Glance<br />
San Francisco 28, Dallas 17<br />
AT&T Stadium, September 7, 2014<br />
Attendance: 91,174<br />
The Dallas Cowboys suffered their first loss of<br />
the 2014 season in the opener at home with a<br />
28-17 decision against San Francisco. In the first<br />
season-opening meeting between the two storied<br />
franchises, San Francisco scored a touchdown<br />
in the opening minute of the game when<br />
DeMarco Murray fumbled and Chris Culliver<br />
scooped-and-scored from 35 yards out. Dallas<br />
answered on its next possession, driving down<br />
the field on an 11-play drive and getting on the<br />
board with a 29-yard Dan Bailey field goal. San<br />
Francisco scored two touchdowns on Vernon<br />
Davis receptions of 19 and two yards to close out<br />
the first quarter with a 21-3 lead. The 49ers<br />
added a Carlos Hyde touchdown run from four<br />
yards out to finish the first half up 28-3.<br />
Dallas scored its first touchdown of the season<br />
when Murray bulled his way into the end<br />
zone on a bruising two-yard run in the waning<br />
seconds of the third quarter, trimming the 49ers<br />
lead to 28-10. Dallas’ defense put together a<br />
dominate second half, holding San Francisco<br />
scoreless and only allowing seven first downs as<br />
Dallas attempted a comeback, but the Cowboys<br />
offense could not muster enough points to complete<br />
the comeback bid. Terrance Williams<br />
caught a two-yard touchdown pass from Tony<br />
Romo with under two-minutes remaining, but<br />
Dallas’ fate was sealed when San Francisco<br />
recovered an onsides kick and ran down the<br />
remaining time for the victory.<br />
Dallas 26, Tennessee 10<br />
LP Field, September 14, 2014<br />
Attendance: 69,143<br />
The Dallas Cowboys returned to form and<br />
earned their first win of the 2014 season with a<br />
bruising 26-10 victory against the Tennessee<br />
Titans. The Cowboys pounded the ball through<br />
the Titans defense, picking up 26 first downs and<br />
controlling the time of possession 41:11-to-<br />
18:49. Dallas started the scoring with a Dan<br />
Bailey 48-yard field goal in the waning seconds<br />
of the first quarter. Then, following a Jake Locker<br />
interception, Dallas scored the first touchdown of<br />
the game on a DeMarco Murray two-yard run up<br />
the middle of the Titans defense. Bailey followed<br />
up with field goals of 44 and 51 yards to close<br />
out the half. Dallas’ defense held the Titans to<br />
only two first downs in the first half and forced<br />
their first turnover of the season when Barry<br />
Church intercepted Locker on a high throw down<br />
the middle of the field.<br />
Tennessee scored on its first possession of<br />
the second half, doubling its first half output with<br />
four first downs on its way to a Ryan Succop 47-<br />
yard field goal. The Titans forced a Dallas punt<br />
and scored quickly on an explosive 61-yard<br />
touchdown catch-and-run by tight end Delanie<br />
Walker, pulling to within six points of the<br />
Cowboys. Dallas went back to the ground game<br />
and pounded the ball down the field on a 12-play<br />
drive, culminating with a Dez Bryant three-yard<br />
touchdown catch. The Dallas defense again<br />
picked off Locker on an acrobatic play by<br />
Rolando McClain, and Dallas added a 48-yard<br />
Bailey field goal while running down the clock on<br />
the way to a 26-10 victory.<br />
