The Cowboys broke their eight-game road playoff losing streak Monday against the Buccaneers, giving Dak Prescott his first playoff win of his career. Even with a win, the Cowboys got beat in the secondary by Tampa’s wideouts (23/233/1 on 35 targets) and Tom Brady just missed a long score late in the game to Mike Evans.
Dallas has risk defending the run (497/2,198/9 – 4.4 yards per rush), which plays into the 49ers’ strength (467/2,191/18 – 4.7 yards per carry). San Francisco has been on a mission running the ball over the last six weeks (36/209/3; 34/170/1; 26/153/2; 27/170/2; 37/169/2; 33/181/1).
