SANTA CLARA
Authentic Alex Bregman Jersey , Calif. (AP) C.J. Beathard got a rude welcome in his first start in the NFL.
Beathard was battered all game by the blitzing Dallas Cowboys, getting sacked five times and knocked down several more in a 40-10 loss Sunday that was the
most lopsided home defeat for the San Francisco 49ers in eight years.
”They brought a lot of pressure. I guess that was one of their game plan things. Their deal was to bring a lot of pressure, which we hadn’t seen them do
much of,” Beathard said. ”When you’re a rookie, obviously, you’re new to a
system. Trying to see what you know. Puts you on your heels a little
bit.”

Beathard, a third-round pick out of Iowa, had fared well in relief last week in Washington when he nearly led a comeback from 17 points down but wasn’t
nearly as effective against the Cowboys.
He played from behind all game as a fumbled punt return by Trent Taylor put San Francisco in a 7-0 deficit before Beathard took his first snap. The 49ers
spent the entire game chasing he Cowboys, falling behind 40-3 early in the
fourth quarter before Beathard scored on a TD run with just over six minutes
remaining.
”C.J. will learn from it,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. ”He’s a tough kid. By no means was he perfect. He did make some plays in the game and there were some he
missed, too. It was similar to last week. I think he’ll learn from those. I
think he came out early

some of the stuff we wanted to.”
Beathard finished 22 for 38 for 235 yards. He lost a pair of fumbles on sacks and was hit six other times as the Cowboys continually tested him with pressure
packages.
The first fumble proved crucial because the Niners were still in the game. Trailing 20-3, San Francisco had driven to the Dallas 5 late in the first half
and was in position to get into the end zone when Marquise Goodwin broke
open.
But DeMarcus Lawrence beat left tackle Joe Staley around the edge and forced a fumble on Beathard that he recovered.
That’s the way things have gone so far this season for the rebuilding 49ers, who are off to their worst start since also losing the first seven games in Bill
Walsh’s first season as coach in 1979.
”We are 0-7. There’s only one way to go, and that’s up,” Beathard said. ”I think we’ve got a lot of season left ahead of us to get better and really turn
the season around and make something out of it
Authentic Yasmany Tomas Jersey , just do our best. I think that’s what we’ll do. We’ll go back to work tomorrow, watch the film, improve. Really, you’ve got
to put this one behind us like we’ve done with the six other games and look
forward.”
After the missed opportunity to end the first half, the game really got out of reach early in the second half. Shanahan opted to go for it on fourth-and-4
from the Dallas 28 on the opening drive only to have Beathard throw an
incompletion to Kendrick Bourne.
Ezekiel Elliott then took a screen pass 72 yards for a score on the next play to make it 27-3 and set the stage for the blowout.
”I know it doesn’t look good, but it’s a very fine line between all that stuff
