The 2022 National Football League (NFL) Playoffs kicked off with a historic week of Super Wild Card, where for the first time there were six games between Saturday and Monday. Although most ended with “boring” endings, there was undoubtedly one that stood out above the rest.
That was the victory San Francisco 49ers above Dallas Cowboys by 23 to 17 at AT&T Stadium, where thousands of fans watched their team collapse after many expectations, and ended up throwing objects at them and at the referees.
The game had the Niners ahead pretty much the entire time, but the final was suspenseful and the last quarter, crazy. Jimmy Garoppolo he messed up a lot and couldn’t finish it off, leaving the Cowboys alive with less than a minute on the clock.

There, the most exciting finale of the NFL Playoffs so far, where dak prescott tried to run down the middle and stop the clock with a second to have one more play and a chance to win it with a score, but the clock reached zero, and it became a disastrous move.
Here’s how the #49ers–#Cowboys game ended: Per NFL rules, Dak can’t spot the ball on his own and snap it. Ball must be spotted by the ref. By the time that happened, clock reached triple zeroes. pic.twitter.com/NY9H7IHmsD
