There’s never a dull moment in the NFL, and Week 5 of the 2023 regular season is no exception. This weekend, the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers will face off in a Sunday Night Football matchup that feels like a playoff game in October. Not only are these two of the league’s best teams this season, but the Cowboys and 49ers have a longtime rivalry.
San Francisco has knocked Dallas out of the playoffs in both of the last two seasons, and now the Cowboys are certainly looking to exact revenge. Dallas comes into Sunday’s game at 3-1 while boasting the NFL’s fourth-ranked scoring offense and top-ranked scoring defense. The Cowboys will be looking to put an end to San Francisco’s 14-game regular-season win streak as they go up against the 49ers’ stellar defense and quarterback Brock Purdy.
