49ers vs. Cowboys live score, updates, highlights from NFL wild-card playoff game

January 16, 2022 admin

San Francisco and Dallas orchestrated massive turnarounds this season after disappointing results a year ago. The Cowboys finished this year at 12-5, vastly improved from 6-10, while the 49ers went 10-7 after going 6-10 in 2021.

Their reward for bouncing back? Playing each other in the first round of this year’s postseason, continuing one of the best and most historic rivalries in football, meeting for the first time in the playoffs since 1998 after decades of historic matchups prior to that.

Dallas has one of the league’s most potent and high-powered offenses. The Cowboys won the NFC East with the league’s best scoring offense and best total offense thanks to strong play from quarterback Dak Prescott, who played in all but one game this year after playing in only five a season ago due to injury.

Prescott completed 68.8 percent of his passes and threw for a career-high 37 touchdowns while CeeDee Lamb had 1,102 yards receiving and Ezekiel Elliott had 1,002 yards rushing.

But as good as the Cowboys have been offensively, San Francisco has been nearly as strong on the other side of the ball. It’s a unit that’s ranked ninth in scoring defense and third in total defense to go along with 48 sacks and 21 forced fumbles.
