The Cowboys will host a team for the second to last time this season unless they make the playoffs, and it is a game that could potentially result in their playoff hopes being extinguished. That it comes against the 49ers, one of this franchise’s most bitter out-of-division rivals, is just extra incentive for both teams.
Of course, this won’t be the Sunday Night Football matchup it was originally billed to be. That’s because both teams have a combined nine wins on the season, as both the Cowboys and 49ers have been riddled with injuries all year long.
