NFL wild card playoffs: Key moments from the Dallas Cowboys-San Francisco 49ers rivalry

The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers will write another chapter in their storied rivalry Sunday in the NFC wild-card game.

The two familiar foes have met a total of 37 times, with the Cowboys possessing a thin lead on the series, 19-17-1. Dallas won the last meeting 41-33 in Week 15 of the 2020 season.

Both coaching staffs are well-versed in the longtime rivalry.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan shared his own memories from when his father, Mike Shanahan, served as the 49ers' offensive coordinator and quarterback coach from 1992 to '94 -- when the teams met in three consecutive NFC Championship Games.
