Key moments from the Dallas Cowboys-San Francisco 49ers rivalry

On Sunday at Levi's Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers will meet again, marking the first time they've faced each other in consecutive postseasons since a three-year stretch from 1992-1994.

After going dormant for 27 years, the Cowboys-Niners playoff rivalry roared back to life in the 2021 NFC wild-card round.

San Francisco advanced to the NFC Divisional round and trimmed Dallas' lead in the all-time series to 19-18-1. Of more importance than the overall record, though, is how these teams fare against each other on the playoff stage.

It's the ninth playoff game between the historic rivals, tying them with Packers-49ers and Cowboys-Rams for the most common playoff matchups in NFL history.
