With 1:35 left to play down 20-13, the 49ers took over on their own 28yd line. Behind solid passing from Plunkett they drove straight down the field and scored with :28 left. All Steve Mike-Mayer had to do to tie the game was to kick the extra point, he missed wide. If you look at the season statistics for Dallas they have the 26th ranked offense in the league, but are ranked 3rd in points per game. Why? Because they are a big play offense and they got them again today along with brilliant play out of their defense. A very disappointing exit for the 49ers who were at the top of the NFC almost all season.
