The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers; two teams with storied histories that often overlap. For a long time, the pair didn’t stand in each other’s way but it’s back to the old relationship in recent years.
With that comes emotion, and DeMarcus Lawrence talked about what this Sunday Night Football matchup means. Lawrence’s former running mate Randy Gregory was traded to the 49ers on Thursday, but won’t play in the game.
Defense is the identity of both teams, and the performance of the Cowboys’ side will likely dictate the game. If Dan Quinn’s clan can lock down Christian McCaffrey and company for the second consecutive matchup, a golden opportunity awaits. That’s why there’s a lot of confidence going in, even against an undefeated powerhouse.
The Dallas staff writers are the biggest example of that belief. Details on their predictions, key things to watch and the possibility of the Cowboys offensive line finally being 100% in the latest News and Notes.
