On Sunday at 3:30 p.m., No. 2-seed 49ers (14-4) will next host the winner of tonight’s game between the No. 5-seed Dallas Cowboys (12-5) and No. 4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-9).
SANTA CLARA — When you’ve won 11 consecutive games and just scored a season-high 41 points, you’re not in fear of you’re next opponent.
It’ll be a rematch one way or another. The 49ers clobbered the Bucs 35-7 last month, when Brock Purdy became the first rookie quarterback to win his first start against Tom Brady. A year ago, the 49ers won at Dallas 23-17 in a wild-card playoff game. The Cowboys won the other five playoff matchups, but that won’t inspire you’re rooting interest tonight, so onward to look at the here and now.
No 49ers-Cowboys contest can by hyped without acknowledging the quarterbacks. Prescott’s counterpart this time around would be Purdy, who’s been amazingly efficient, mobile and cunning in seven wins since replacing the still-injured Jimmy Garoppolo. Brady is a San Mateo native, and like any good Bay Area son, he despises the Cowboys. If he beats them tonight, he’ll own an 8-0 record against them.
