The Cowboys didn’t play at home on Sunday and were on the road instead, falling to the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., 19-12. San Francisco now advances to the NFC Championship next week, when they’ll visit the Eagles in Philadelphia.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott struggled early, throwing a pair of interceptions in the first half. Things continued to get worse for Dallas, when running back Tony Pollard exited the game early with an ankle injury.

Las Vegas police investigating fan who smacked Kyler Murray in face

Police are investigating an incident in which Kyler Murray got smacked in the face.

After the Cardinals stunningly came from behind to beat the Raiders in overtime at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, the team was reveling on the field. Murray went and gave high fives to Cardinals fans sitting in the front row behind one of the end zones.

A video emerged of fan, presumably a Raiders supporter, appearing to smack Murray in the face right after these high fives.

Murray turned around and confronted the group of fans involved. Teammates quickly got between Murray and the fans to de-escalate the situation.

Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield confirmed to the Associated Press that a battery complaint was filed. While he did not name Murray specifically, he confirmed the complaint involved “a spectator at the stadium [who] struck a professional football player.”

The game had very high stakes, as both the Cardinals and Raiders entered at 0-1. A 1-1 record is highly salvageable whereas starting the NFL season 0-2 really puts teams behind the eight ball.

The Raiders had a 23-7 lead headed into the fourth quarter before Murray went into video game mode, leading two touchdown drives capped by two-point conversions to tie the game.

The Cardinals won in overtime when Hunter Renfrow fumbled the ball and it was scooped up Byron Murphy and returned for a 59-yard touchdown.
