The Dallas Cowboys held off the San Francisco 49ers with a final score of 21-16 in Week 10 of the 2026 season. This victory was crucial for the Cowboys as they continue to solidify their playoff positioning in a tightly contested conference race.
Brock Purdy put on a show for the 49ers, throwing for 306 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to lead the offense under pressure. Christian McCaffrey contributed significantly on the ground with 78 rushing yards, while Mike Evans was a standout in the passing game, racking up 111 receiving yards. Their efforts kept the game competitive but ultimately fell short.
Defensively, Quinnen Williams was a force for the Cowboys, recording three sacks that disrupted Purdy's rhythm and contributed to the team's success. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Williams' pressure forced a critical turnover on downs, allowing Dallas to maintain their lead and secure the victory. Despite Fred Warner's impressive 11 tackles for the 49ers, the Cowboys' defense proved too formidable when it mattered most.
