What’s Going To Happen, Who’s Going to Win Dallas Cowboys vs San Francisco 49ers NFC Divisional Round
It’s about the Dallas running game. It’s been held under 80 rushing yards just three times, and two of those games were against Washington.
San Francisco is 12-0 when allowing fewer than 80 rushing yards and 2-4 – one of those wins was in overtime to the Raiders – when allowing more.
Lost in everything about being the Dallas Cowboys and all the glitz and attention and offense is one badass defense that allowed more than 24 points just six times. This group knows how to bring the pressure, it has the speed and athleticism to hang with the 49er skill guys, and it’s about to have a solid game.
There’s one giant problem, though.
Rest. San Francisco caught a monster break playing early Saturday morning. With Dallas playing Monday night, the 49ers will have about 2.5 days of extra time than the team that’s playing 3,000 miles from where it won its Wild Card game.
Dallas has to lean on its offensive line, and it has to get that running game going to control the time of possession battle a bit. Again, it’s going to be about that ground attack.
It’s going to come up with more than 80 yards.
