The Cowboys face the 49ers Sunday night in the NFL’s first true showdown of the season. The 49ers are 4-0. The Cowboys are 3-1. Both are Super Bowl contenders
For the Cowboys that sentiment is based on the bitter feelings from being knocked out the playoffs by the 49ers the past two seasons and knowing that this is hill they must clear if they hope to change things in 2023 and reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 1995, ending a 28-year drought.
The combination of Smith at left tackle, left guard Tyler Smith, center Tyler Biadasz, right guard Zack Martin and right tackle Terence Steele has never taken the field together due to injuries last season and for the first four games of 2023. Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons says the Cowboys must tackle well. The Cowboys held McCaffery to 35 yards on 10 carries in the playoff game.
“I mean, that’s huge,” Prescott said. “That’s kind of what we’re hanging our hat on to start off with and starting off this season is taking care of the ball. Defense getting the ball. When you play a team like this that has a powerful offense, that has a fundamental defense, you can’t give them any extra plays. So going to continue what we’ve been doing, cover and finishing, and taking care of the ball on our end.
