Record: 1-3 overall, 1-1 in division
Snapshot: The 49ers jumped out to a 14-0 lead but couldn't sustain it. Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott had 23 carries for 138 yards and the go-ahead touchdown with 1:08 left in the third quarter.
Notable: San Francisco quarterback Blaine Gabbert was 16-of-23 for 196 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Dallas won despite the absence of receiver Dez Bryant and offensive linemen Tyron Smith and La'el Collins.
Quotable: "It was six yards. We have to be able to convert." – coach Chip Kelly on failed plays on third and fourth down as the 49ers tried to tie the game on their final drive.

LOS ANGELES RAMS
Last time out: Rams 17, Cardinals 13
Record: 3-1 overall, 2-1 in division
Snapshot: A 47-yard Tavon Austin punt return started a Los Angeles drive in the red zone, and Case Keenum capped it with a touchdown strike to Brian Quick for the game-winning score late in the fourth quarter. Mark Barron and T.J. McDonald picked off a pair of Drew Stanton passes in the waning minutes to secure the win.
Notable: Defensive tackle Aaron Donald was a menace, registering 1½ sacks and forcing a fumble. Quarterback Case Keenum finished 18-of-30 for 266 yards and two touchdowns, helping the offense score points despite a rushing game which averaged only 1.8 yards per carry.
Quotable: "He's preparing every week and he expects to win. That's how he is. That's why months ago we said that he was our starter, because we have confidence in him and he can win games. We were a field goal block away in overtime from being 7-1 as a starter." – coach Jeff Fisher on choosing Keenum over Jared Goff as his quarterback out of training camp.
Key stat:The Rams are 3-1 for the first time since 2006. They are currently in first place in the NFC West.
