SANTA CLARA \u2013 Cowboys linebacker Eric Kendricks is a 10-year veteran, a 32-year-old who has been through dozens of postgame press conferences and thus practiced the art of saying the right thing.<\/p>\n

But even a grizzled long-timer like Kendricks couldn\u2019t help but show his frustration when asked whether or not he believed the 49ers got away with offensive pass interference on George Kittle\u2019s 2-yard touchdown in the 49ers 30-24 victory on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Wide receiver Chris Conley decked safety Donovan Wilson with 7:16 left in the third quarter, freeing up the 49ers\u2019 All-Pro in the flat on National Tight End Day for his sixth touchdown of the season. Two officials threw flags, but referee Bill Vinovich later announced that there would be no penalty for offensive pass interference.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey threw two flags, so I thought it was a guaranteed (penalty),\u201d Kendricks told the Bay Area News Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, you hope that one goes our way, but at the same time, we\u2019ve got to do our part to keep them out of that position,\u201d Kendricks continued before adding, \u201cYou know, blah, blah, blah \u2026 but two flags, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n

Vinovich has been the subject of ire by both fanbases in the recent past. He was the referee in the 49ers\u2019 divisional playoff over the Cowboys after the 2022 season and has officiated both of Kansas City\u2019s Super Bowl victories over San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Add Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy to the list of those in the Dallas locker room who were less than thrilled with the officiating.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo flags were thrown, and when they were thrown I clearly thought it was a pick play,\u201d McCarthy said after the Cowboys dropped to 3-4. \u201cYou need to go ask (the officials) for an explanation because it was a key play in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Exasperated
Dallas Cowboys players and their coach weren\u2019t happy that George Kittle\u2019s (85) touchdown reception was allowed to stand (Nhat V. Meyer\/Bay Area News Group)\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A big reason for Kittle\u2019s big day was the 49ers\u2019 ability to get receivers open on crossing routes, something Dallas knew was coming but still couldn\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know who their target is, but they have a lot of other weapons and they try to spread it across the field,\u201d Kendricks said.<\/p>\n

For his part, Conley said he didn\u2019t think he should have been flagged.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen everything is tight down there, there\u2019s always a chance, but I was talking to the ref and at first when they threw the flag they thought I wasn\u2019t running a route,\u201d Conley said postgame. \u201cBut I said I\u2019m obviously running a route inside of a guy and then got trucked. Another ref came in who saw it, they talked about it and they picked it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, that call and Kittle\u2019s big day weren\u2019t the only reasons the Cowboys lost to the Niners for the fourth consecutive time.<\/p>\n

Cornerback Jourdan Lewis downplayed the significance of that streak.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to win against everyone, and we\u2019re just trying to get out of a rut,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n

Instead, he gave Kittle his props after going for 128 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a really good player, and Shanahan does a good job of getting him in space and getting him off the press,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n

But despite being outgained in yardage 469 to 242 and giving up 21 consecutive points in the third quarter, the Cowboys couldn\u2019t quite escape the shadow of what they considered poor officiating on key pass plays.<\/p>\n

As McCarthy walked out of the postgame press conference, he was asked if he believed 5-foot-7 receiver KaVontae Turpin had been interfered with on the Cowboys\u2019 deep desperation pass on their final possession. McCarthy simply chuckled and shrugged.<\/p>\n
