As far as week five regular season NFL games go, it seemingly doesn’t get much bigger than Sunday Night Football in San Francisco, where the 49ers will host the Cowboys at the site of last year’s NFC Divisional Playoffs. The 49ers won that game 19-12 to reach the NFC Championship game, setting off changes for the Cowboys roster and coaching staff in an all-out effort to get past Kyle Shanahan’s team and reach the championship game themselves for the first time since 1996.
The 49ers have claimed the top spot in nearly every power ranking by way of beating the Steelers and Rams on the road, and Giants and Cardinals at home.
