It wasn’t all bad for a certain Cowboys fan Sunday.
During San Francisco’s dominant 42-10 win over Dallas on “Sunday Night Football,” a 49ers supporter proposed to his now-fiancée, who rocked Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s No. 4 jersey at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
NBC cameras caught the intimate moment when the future groom got down on one knee in a red, No. 23 Christian McCaffrey 49ers jersey.
"Would he have done it if the Cowboys had won? I don't think so. I think he's holding the ring. You can't start a marriage like that, with her having the upper hand. But 49ers win, 'Here you go, let's get married.'"

“She said ‘yes,’ the crowd around them went wild,” Mike Tirico recapped on the “Sunday Night Football” broadcast.
Tirico’s on-air partner, Cris Collinsworth, then joked about how things could have unfolded had the tables turned in Dallas’ favor.
“Would he have done it if the Cowboys had won? I don’t think so,” Collinsworth said. “I think he’s holding the ring. You can’t start a marriage like that, with her having the upper hand. But 49ers win, ‘Here you go, let’s get married.’”
The Cowboys fan appeared to be in complete shock and later shared a kiss with the groom-to-be.
Though there were plenty of sparks flying in the stands, it was all 49ers from start to finish Sunday night.
Second-year quarterback Brock Purdy turned in a stellar performance, throwing for 252 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Meanwhile, Prescott threw three interceptions in a rematch of last season’s Divisional Round playoff clash. Back in January, the 49ers topped the Cowboys, 19-12, en route to the NFC Championship Game.
With Sunday’s win, the 49ers and Eagles are the only two undefeated teams with 5-0 records.
