4 takeaways from Cowboys’ heartbreaking loss to the 49ers
The Dallas Cowboys came out of the bye week the same way they entered it, with a tough loss to an NFC foe. Yes, the Cowboys dropped their fourth game of the season on Sunday night when the team lost 30-24 to the San Francisco 49ers.
The world may seem like it is falling apart, but let’s get through this. Here are four takeaways from the Cowboys’ loss.
Fans could pinpoint the third quarter as the part of the game that lost the Cowboys the game. Dallas gave up 21 points in the quarter, all but cementing their fourth loss of the season.
It has been beaten like a drum all season, yet fans have to keep hearing it: the running game has cost this team so many games. Even with Dalvin Cook making his mighty debut, the Cowboys only had 57 rushing yards.

That old turnover problem that quarterback Dak Prescott has had in the past has seemed to return. Prescott threw two interceptions on Sunday night, and in a game where the Cowboys didn’t want to give a banged 49ers offense more opportunities, Prescott didn’t get the memo.
The NFL did it, they finally have the fans tired of hearing about National Tight Ends Day. However, George Kittle made sure to celebrate in style. The 49ers tight end had a monster game that ended with 128 receiving yards and one touchdown.
The Cowboys offense forgot to celerbate Jake Ferguson on this sacred holiday.

UPDATE 6-26-2026: Gracie has been found about four miles south of the Cedar Hollow Ranch, according to a Facebook update from Real County Animal Rescue. Ranch manager Vic Jones has assembled a team to safely bring the wandering giraffe home.
—
A giraffe named Gracie is missing in Texas, and the search for her has become a tall order.
Gracie, who is about 3 years old, has been missing for nearly two weeks after escaping her enclosure at Cedar Hollow Ranch in the Texas Hill Country, said Vic Jones, who owns the remote property about 100 miles west of San Antonio. He said Wednesday, June 24 that Gracie had wandered into a part of the privately owned preserve that other giraffes previously avoided.
Jones said he has sent up helicopters to look for Gracie, a few sightings have trickled in, and a $5,000 reward is on the table.
But the giraffe, which stands roughly the height of a tree, hasn’t turned up.
“She wound up going up and feeding in an area on the hillside and the rocky ledges that none of the other giraffes had ever gone on before,” Jones said. “And when she came down off of there, she came down on the wrong side of the gate.”
The ranch is in rural Real County, where its roughly 2,700 residents were put on alert to be on the lookout for a missing giraffe. Jones said the search area is extremely remote, and the likelihood of Gracie encountering any humans is low.
“People are not in danger of her because she’s not around people,” Jones said. ‘She’s out in very, very rough, heavily wooded lands.”
The Texas Hill Country has one of the largest concentrations of exotic captive animals in the country. Real County Sheriff Nathan Johnson said the mild climate and rugged terrain seems to serve as a good stand-in for most of the animals’ native African environments.
He rattled off a list of animals that have gone missing over the years, especially after floods, but said this was his first giraffe.
“I’ve had wildebeests, I’ve had water buffalo, I’ve had monkeys, I’ve had zebras, all go missing,” Johnson said. “Sometimes we recover them, and sometimes we don’t.”
While the middle of Texas is not a giraffe’s native environment, Jones said Gracie should be able to find plenty of leaves and other vegetation to eat. He said other animals were not likely to bother her.
Jones said he initially had helicopters searching an area of about 7,500 acres (3,000 hectares) with no luck. A few days later, there was a report that Gracie was spotted to the south.
But by the time they could search the area, Jones said, she was already gone.
“We’re always two three days late for where the information is coming from, so that makes it tough,” Jones said.
