In a Sunday Night Football showdown at Levi’s Stadium, the 49ers laid a heavy 42-10 beating on the Dallas Cowboys
For some rowdy Niners fans, the victory just wasn’t sweet enough
During the late stages of the blowout, a section of the crowd took it upon themselves to taunt the Cowboys by chanting for Trey Lance, their former 49ers quarterback who now finds himself as the third-string QB for Dallas.

Lance was the 49ers’ 3rd overall pick in the 2021 Draft, acquired after an expensive trade-up of draft picks. However, during the preseason this year, he was traded to the Cowboys in exchange for a fourth-round pick.
Since then, he’s been watching from the sidelines, as Dak Prescott’s 3rd stringer. Backup Cooper Rush, got the nod to finish out the game.
