Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers, 2024 NFL Week 8
The Dallas Cowboys are back from the bye this week and there is no rest for the weary. Up next for America’s Team is a trip to a haunted house of horrors, fitting for the group’s final game before Halloween strikes. The Cowboys will visit the San Francisco 49ers and look to beat them for the first time since 2020, incidentally a game flexed out of Sunday Night Football which is the very slot that this game will be played.
All told the Niners have won three in a row against Dallas and the Cowboys have not beaten them in their own house since 2017. You will recall that as the day that safety Jeff Heath had to serve as the emergency kicker for the injured Dan Bailey. Yes, it has been that long.
Some of the faces in the rivalry remain the same with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Zack Martin, and Kyle Shanahan on the San Francisco side. Players like CeeDee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, George Kittle and Deebo Samuel have been a part of it as well, but all in the time that San Francisco has dominated things.
This is one of the more iconic rivalries across all of NFL history that will see yet another chapter written in it on Sunday night. Here’s to hoping it is a page that the Dallas Cowboys have the last word on.
