Cowboys vs 49ers live stream: game preview
After years of neglect, the great Cowboys-49ers rivalry has suddenly sparked back into life, and it’s safe to say that Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy have unfinished business. The Niners sent the Boys crashing out of last year’s playoffs (though one could easily argue that Prescott and McCarthy did it to themselves) and in humiliating fashion too, so America’s Team is out for revenge. Here’s how to watch a Cowboys vs 49ers live stream online from anywhere– including FREE options in some places.
Most Cowboys fans would agree that the less said aboutthatplay, the better, and after Monday night’s blowout win over the Bucs, it seems that Dallas' offense is finally in a good place again. And they’ll need to be too, against a 49ers defense that ranks as the best in the NFL. The Cowboys last reached the NFC title game in 1995, but after snapping that infamous eight-game playoff losing streak on the road, their long-suffering fans might just be starting to believe in their team again.
Every week Brock Purdy has fresh questions to answer, every week he comes up with the goods, and he now has a chance to become just the fifth rookie quarterback to take his team to a conference title game, and the first since Mark Sanchez in 2009. With Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk to aim for, he’s certainly not short of offensive weapons, but keeping out of reach of Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons will be key to the 49ers' hopes.
This should be a thriller, so follow our guide on how to watch a Cowboys vs 49ers live stream from anywhere.
