Since the arrival of the Vaqueros to the NFL in 1960, the all-time 19-19-1 record against the staunch Gambusinos says it all.
They are two teams that know each other well and in the current era of the rough sport of tackling, the confrontation between these two raises passions considering that over the decades this series has produced six (6) National Football Conference championship games ( NFC).
The 1970 and 1971 seasons culminated with Dallas victories 17-10 and 14-3 heading to Super Bowls V and VI where those hosts of the immortal Tom Landry lost to the Baltimore Colts and then defeated the Miami Dolphins of the legendary Don Shula .
In the 90’s they faced each other three (3) times again to advance to the big game in consecutive seasons. The era included names like Aikman, Irvin, Smith, and Johnson on one side, with the Youngs, Watters, Rice, and Seifert on the other. The Cowboys won the first two (2) and then lost the third in the old Candelero Stadium on January 15, ’95 by a score of 38-28 to see how the locals went to Super Bowl XXIX and beat the San Francisco Chargers. Diego.
The last two (2) postseason confrontations have had final consequences for Mike McCarthy, the first being on January 16, ’22 in the wild card round at AT&T Stadium and the second in the divisional round this last January 22 of this year. year at Levi’s Stadium.
While the cowboy season has thrown up a veritable tidal wave of questions without clear answers, Kyle Shanahan’s students are going from strength to strength, presenting a picture of consistency, cohesiveness, intention and complementary play. The Purdy era has them as true protagonists with its cast of McCaffrey, Aiyuk and Kittle along with a defense led by Warner, Armstead and the unique Nick Bosa.
Surely the Eagles (4-0) will be very attentive to this presentation under the Sunday Night lights from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara after their own game from Sofi Stadium against the Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood, California the afternoon of the same Sunday.
The Cowboys come in as the 11th overall offense, seventh in rushing and 14th in passing. The blue-silver defense is number two in the league, 16th against the run and two against the pass. For their part, the Gambusinos arrive with the number two total offense, three with the carry and nine by elevating the pass. They are the number five defense in the league, three against the run and 17 against the pass.
With the 40th edition between the 49ers and Vaqueros in sight from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, I give you my five keys to the game with kickoff at 7:20pm CST.
