49ers seek fifth straight win over Cowboys

The San Francisco 49ers enter their matchup with the Dallas Cowboys as the stronger team, while Dallas hopes to build on a narrow win over Indianapolis. San Francisco’s heavy use of pre-snap motion and strong rushing attack could exploit Dallas’ communication problems and poor run defense. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer warned that linebacker Fred Warner is especially adept at forcing fumbles, a concern after Dallas lost two fumbles in its previous game and the 49ers forced five turnovers in theirs. Warner, in turn, praised Dak Prescott and Dallas’ receiving and running threats, while the matchup also renews a rivalry marked by repeated 49ers wins and recent Cowboys playoff disappointments.
