Christian McCaffrey scored on a go-ahead 2-yard run in the fourth quarter, sending the San Francisco 49ers to their second straight NFC title game with a 19-12 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
But Prescott threw two straight incompletions and was sacked on third down. Coach Mike McCarthy opted to punt on fourth-and-10 with all three timeouts left.
Purdy, the last pick in the draft last April, improved to 7-0 as a starter since replacing an injured Jimmy Garoppolo early in Week 13. He went 18 for 28 for 215 yards with no turnovers against the Cowboys, joining Joe Flacco and Mark Sanchez as the only rookie QBs to win two playoff starts. “I was like, you know what, how can I make this as dramatic as possible?” Kittle said of his spectacular catch. “Just shout-out to Brock: I actually wasn’t even in progression and he still found me, so that’s all that matters. So I just appreciate him giving me a shot at catching the ball.”
The NFL’s top two scoring teams over the past 13 weeks had trouble getting going as the defenses led by All-Pros Nick Bosa of San Francisco and Micah Parsons of Dallas controlled the play.The Niners picked off Prescott twice in the first half, turned those into field goals by Gould and led 9-6 at the break.
