Who would have thought that the San Francisco 49ers would have gotten help from an unlikely source, the arch-rival Dallas Cowboys?
The Cowboys, who have been a laughing stock over the last few years, stunned the defending Super Bowl Champions, Seattle Seahawks 30-23 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
The Seahawks’ loss allowed the 49ers to move into second place in the NFC Western Division after they defeated the St. Louis Rams 31-17.
Though it did not benefit Stephen A Smith, who had to wear a Tony Romo jersey and a Cowboys hat during the entire show of First Take, as a 49er fan, it was a blessing in disguise.
I thought that the 49ers would have no shot if they had to face the Seahawks in the playoffs because of the off-the-field issues and speculation of head coach Jim Harbaugh leaving after this year due to a disagreement with the front office and some of the players.
I did not give the Cowboys any chance at winning because it is tough to win at Seattle.
However, the Cowboys did not get in their own way and stayed with allowing tailback DeMarco Murray to run the football that has alleviated Romo from being reckless.
It also allowed Romo to be the hero when it was crunch time.
That time came late in the fourth quarter on a 3rd and 20 play when Romo did a houdini and found Terrence Williams, who kept his foot inbounds for the crucial first down.
The play kept the drive alive and set up Murray to get the game-winning touchdown.
This just goes to show that if a person stays focus on the goal of achieving their dreams, help will come from unlikely sources.
The 49ers “can” be grateful to the Cowboys for helping them to be a game out of first place in their division.
