Both franchises have made the playoffs in three straight seasons, with Dallas winning 12 games each from 2021 to 2024. Last year, the 49ers were the top seed in the NFC, while the Cowboys finished second. Entering their Week 8 showdown on “Sunday Night Football,” Dallas and San Francisco have been two of the more disappointing teams in the NFL. After having thrown only 15 interceptions in his first 25 games, he has thrown seven in seven games this season. The Cowboys were fifth in opponent yards per game last season and have fallen to 24th this season.

It takes a lot of things to go right to lead an NFL division near the season’s midway point. Yet for half of the league’s first-place teams, things went wrong in Week 7. The Vikings’ loss also broke their undefeated start. With its win and San Francisco’s loss, Seattle jumped into first in the NFC West. And in a meeting of two first-place teams, San Francisco (3-4) lost 28-18 to Kansas City.

The Saints, one week after blowing out the lowly Carolina Panthers, did the same in Dallas to the high-flying Cowboys. The Ravens were in control for most of the game and then Davante Adams and Brock Bowers took over. The Ravens aren’t built to win when their defense softens — but that isn’t to say they won’t find ways to play the kind of defense the Ravens are known for. Meanwhile, the Saints’ defense denied the Cowboys on all three trips inside the red zone and recorded two takeaways. He made some strong in-structure throws, including a beauty to Noah Brown in the middle of the field late in the game to win the game.

Story highlights Some Taylor Swift fans may be watching the Super Bowl for the first time Here's a guide to the Chiefs and the 49ers, using lyrics from Swift songs “You know I love the players and you love the game.”CNN —This year’s Super Bowl viewership can be neatly divided into four segments: Those who like football and Taylor Swift, those who only like football, those who only like Taylor Swift, and those who like neither but are, for whatever reason, watching anyway. For all the Swifties who are choosing to care about the Super Bowl for the first time — and all the football fans who need a crash course in Taylor Swift — here is a look at Sunday’s game as seen through Swift’s lyrics. The two rivals faced each other in Super Bowl LIV in 2020, when the Chiefs dealt the 49ers a devastating loss, 31-20, giving Kansas City its first Super Bowl victory since 1970. Fans and analysts alike have already begun comparing Mahomes to Tom Brady, who has seven Super Bowl rings to his name. As Swift says in her song “Blank Space,” “You know I love the players / and you love the game.”

“This is the pinnacle,” Williams said about playing the Kansas City Chiefs for a championship on Sunday. The way these last four years went for me, I’m super grateful.”Williams career has been revitalized since he arrived in San Francisco in 2020, after sitting out the previous season in Washington. But he’s a guy I’m not shy doing that about because he’ll be there and he should be there first ballot. Williams said the offensive line fined him when he first got the extra locker but everyone knows he's worthy of it. Williams knows he’s far closer to the end of his career than the beginning, but he’s not quite ready to hang it up and retire.

Irrelevant” as the final pick of the 2022 draft to MVP finalist and starting quarterback in the Super Bowl in a span of less than 22 months. But the Niners spent the early parts of the day of that draft adding depth to the trenches and secondary. Beathard — in free agency — and San Francisco made the move that All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams has equated to winning the Powerball lottery. He was healthy enough to start a throwing program in late May, resumed practice early in training camp and delivered one of the most prolific seasons ever by a San Francisco quarterback. But some critics have tried to downgrade him by calling him a “system quarterback” or “game manager” being carried by his talented teammates and creative coach.

A run of big draft hits in previous years, two trades for All-Pros and perhaps the greatest get out of jail free card in draft history. He's done all that while getting a salary of $870,000 this season, allowing San Francisco to spend big at other spots. San Francisco also invested heavily in McCaffrey and have the highest-paid fullback in the league in All-Pro Kyle Juszczyk. San Francisco added to the position by dealing a third-round pick at the trade deadline for a former No. San Francisco used a fourth-round pick on punter Mitch Wishnowsky in 2019.

Since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger, those two teams were the only ones ever to go undefeated during the regular season. Jets stun Eagles for Philly’s first defeatThe New York Jets had been down on their luck and the Philadelphia Eagles were undefeated and slowly improving after a slow start. Jets head coach Robert Saleh was blunt in his assessment after the game about the impact his defense was having on opposition teams. Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire/Getty ImagesBills survive scareIt wasn’t convincing, but the Buffalo Bills maintained their strong start to the season with a narrow 14-9 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night. “It’s an ugly win, but it counts the same as a pretty win,” Bills star Allen told NBC’s Melissa Stark after the game.

Nearly 12 months later, coach Kyle Shanahan can't even imagine what life would be like without McCaffrey driving the Niners offense. The midseason addition of McCaffrey last year immediately transformed the 49ers from a middling offense into one of the most productive. McCaffrey currently is in the top 10 for odds to win the award, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. I knew he was really, really good and really special and could do a lot of things conventional running backs can’t do. Obviously, he can run the ball, can run routes out of the backfield, can line up as a receiver and run routes.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers gave coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch multi-year contract extensions on Friday. San Francisco is 55-46 in six-plus seasons under Shanahan and Lynch with six playoff wins. San Francisco passed up an opportunity to draft Patrick Mahomes in 2017 and then traded three first-round picks to draft quarterback Trey Lance third overall in 2021. That move didn't prove to be a major setback because San Francisco found starting quarterback Brock Purdy with the final pick of the 2022 draft. Purdy is back healthy this season playing at a highly efficient level as San Francisco has scored 30 points in each game.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Christian McCaffrey scored a touchdown in his 12th straight game, Brock Purdy threw two TD passes and the San Francisco 49ers won their 13th straight regular season game, 30-12 over the New York Giants on Thursday night. The defense did the rest against the short-handed Giants (1-2), who fell behind by double digits at the half for the third time in three games this season. That matched Jerry Rice's franchise record with 12 straight games in the regular season or playoffs with a TD and is three shy of the NFL mark. They rallied to beat the Cardinals with a strong second half. Davidson (elbow) left in the second half.

And this bull is now a steer, so he’s irrelevant. Justin Casterline/Getty ImagesWhen Purdy was selected by the 49ers – and that famous red and white jersey was brought out with “Mr. Irrelevant” celebrations began in 1976, when former 49ers receiver Paul Salata founded “Irrelevant Week” in Newport Beach, California. Purdy celebrates at midfield after the Iowa State Cyclones defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys 24-21 at Jack Trice Stadium on October 23, 2021 in Ames, Iowa. “I’ve tried to keep myself from being surprised about Brock Purdy years ago because nothing surprises me anymore with him.”
Whether it be draft position or playoff seedings, each game means something to each team as Week 14 of the NFL season kicks off in earnest on Sunday. And, as a result, the Jets’ season has metamorphosed from shoots of optimism to playoff hopes. Sunday will see Tom Brady face off against seventh-round rookie Brock Purdy as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel west to face the San Francisco 49ers. Despite playing his first meaningful action and with his team’s season possibly on the line, Purdy never looked fazed, leading the 49ers to an important victory.
