The San Francisco 49ers (3-4) are hosting the Dallas Cowboys (3-3) in a Week 8 “Sunday Night Football” battle. These are two of the most storied franchises in the NFL, and for the majority of the 1990s, they dominated the NFC. Despite their long histories, they’ve only faced each other 40 times, with San Francisco leading 16-14-1 in the regular season, while Dallas has a 5-4 lead in their playoff games.
The 49ers are been battling the injury bug from the start of the season, as they’ve had to play without star running back Christian McCaffrey. Recently, things have gotten even worse.
