It has been one of the greatest rivalries in the NFL for over 50 years - Cowboys-Niners. The two teams will meet for the 41st time Sunday in SF. The niners lead the all-time series vs the Cowboys 20-19-1.
Here are some comparisons of the two teams all time matchups:
The niners may be the only team that is as banged up as we are, missing 4 (and maybe 5) starters on offense and 4 on defense. This game could be called “The Hospital Bowl”.
After watching the Cowboys the last 6 games, it’s very hard to see this team be able to grind out a win against a team as talented as SF playing at home and at 3-4 desperate for a win to stay relevant for a playoff spot.
But having said that, the niners are not what they have been the last few years, and the NFL is very unpredictable. So I expect a closer game than what we would normally expect. Cant see the Cowboys winning, but somehow I think it will be a relatively close game. Anything is possible.
Here are some comparisons of the two teams all time matchups:
- The niners lead the regular season matchups 16-14-1.
- The Cowboys lead the niners in the all-time playoff record 5-4, but the niners have won the last 3 playoff matchups.
- Like Dallas, SF has won 5 SBs in their 8 appearances.
- Sadly, the niners have passed the Cowboys in all time playoff wins 39-25 compared to Dallas 35-31 playoff record.
- The niners playoff record since 2000 is 14-9, including a whopping 7 conference championship games and 3 SBs. The Cowboys are 4-10 in the playoffs in that same time period with zero conference championship appearances.
