Here is what you need to know for Sunday night’s game between the host 49ers (4-0) and the NFC-rival Dallas Cowboys (3-1).
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy makes a throw against the Dallas Cowboys’ DeMarcus Lawrence in the first quarter of their NFC divisional-round playoff game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, January 22, 2023. Questions about the Dallas Cowboys – the 49ers’ next opponent — bombarded San Francisco players before they even got dressed after
The 49ers’ field is where the Cowboys were eliminated from last year’s NFC divisional playoffs, a year after the 49ers won in a wild-card matchup in Arlington, Texas. In their last regular-season meeting, the visiting 49ers fell 41-33 in December 2020, with Nick Mullens tearing an elbow ligament and Javon Kinlaw injuring his knee. The last regular-season game at Levi’s Stadium was Oct. 22, 2017, when Prescott threw three touchdown passes in a 40-10 Cowboys win to spoil C.J. Beathard’s starting debut.The only other time these rivals met for a Sunday night kickoff: a 24-6 win by the 49ers at Dallas on Nov. 11, 1990.
Winning would make Purdy 10-0 and match Mike Tomczak as the second-most consecutive wins to start a quarterback’s career since 1990. Ben Roethlisberger started 15-0 for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2004-05; Purdy could potentially equal that mark Nov. 15 at home against Tampa Bay and surpass it on Thanksgiving night in Seattle.
