Cowboys player projections for 49ers game are lower than they were for Detroit

The Dallas Cowboys are back from the bye this week and immediately have about as tall of a test as one could conjure up for them. At perhaps their lowest point in the Mike McCarthy era, the Cowboys now have to travel to face the team who has completely owned them lately in the San Francisco 49ers. The longtime rivals have met three times since consistent regular-season success found the Cowboys in 2021, twice in the playoffs and once in the last regular season, and the Niners have won each and every time.

The last Dallas win over San Francisco came in 2020 when both teams were so lost at sea that their game against one another at AT&T Stadium was actually flexed out of NBC’s Sunday Night Football slot (Jaylon Smith had a memorable line about that, to say the least).
