Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers
- Start time: 8:20 p.m. ET
- Channel: NBC
- Live stream options: Peacock, FuboTV
The Cowboys and 49ers have historically dominated the NFC. The two franchises have won the conference 15 times and gone head-to-head in the NFC Championship Game six times. While San Francisco has dominated their division for the past few years, the Cowboys hope to overtake the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023.
The Cowboys and 49ers face off for the second time in just over eight months after San Francisco knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs in the Divisional Round 19-12. The series between these two teams sits at a dead even 19-19-1. The drama could not be any higher in the NFL game tonight.
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy leads the team into the Sunday Night Football matchup undefeated as he continues his improbable performance under center. The 49ers average 31.25 points per game, while Purdy has played incredibly efficient football.
Should fans be treated to another close game tonight, the 49ers should feel confident in their QB play. Purdy has a 105.6 passer rating in close and late game situations this season, while the Cowboys have allowed a rating of 158.3 in those exact moments, the worst in the league. All three matchups in the 2020s have been one-score games. Will the 49ers cash in a third straight time in the NFL game tonight?
