At Levi’s Stadium on Sunday night in the Divisional Round of the 2022–23 NFL Playoffs, the San Francisco 49ers (2) defeated the Dallas Cowboys (6) thanks to tight end George Kittle’s important circus catch, which ultimately resulted in the winning score.
The 29-year-old Kittle finished the game with 95 receiving yards on just six catches, with a 26-yard gain that almost resulted in an incomplete pass being the most significant.

A few plays later, 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey scored on the basis of his shaky reception.
The sole touchdown of the game was scored by San Francisco’s 26-year-old McCaffrey, who burst into the end zone on the opening play of the fourth quarter.
Robbie Gould, the kicker for the Niners, made four out of five field goals to assist the team book a spot in the Conference Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Brock Purdy vs. Dak Prescott
Despite not completing a single touchdown pass, Brock Purdy handled the ball well, which is more than can be said for Dak Prescott.
Purdy, 23, completed 19 of his 29 throws for 214 yards, which was enough to win the game.
In the first half, Prescott, 29, threw two interceptions, doing precisely what his supporters had anticipated. Despite missing a few games during the regular season, he led the NFL in interceptions. His bad play continued in the postseason.
There weren’t many highlights for the spectators in the defensive match between the Cowboys and the 49ers. In fact, precisely the opposite occurred, as Tony Pollard suffered an injury and Brett Maher failed to make another extra point.
