After the Cowboys’ opening drive of the second half was shut down, the Dallas special teams had a moment of redemption. In the midst of the kicker struggles, cornerback Kelvin Joseph made his mark in San Francisco. Joseph has faced criticism for his penalties and struggles at cornerback since being a second-round pick a year ago but this moment must feel sweet.
Even then, there may be a sweeter moment on the ensuing drive. The Cowboys knocked on the door to take the lead but a drop by running back Ezekiel Elliott that was nearly intercepted ended the drive and out trotted kicker Brett Maher.
Brett Maher ties the game with the field goal ‼️

Albeit a 25-yard kick, it must take extra weight off of Maher’s shoulder to tie the game and break the ice against the 49ers. If he can continue to make kicks, it changes everything in San Francisco.
