After it looked like his injury was going to be serious, Jimmy Garoppolo is back and could see action should the 49ers advance to either the NFC Finals or the Super Bowl, although Brock Purdy has done a good job so far.
The Cowboys vs. the 49ers is a classic NFL game, specifically in the National Conference, remembering that they faced each other last season in the Playoffs and both have more than 25 years without being Super Bowl champions.
The last game of the Divisional Round will be played next from Santa Clara where the Dallas Cowboys will be visiting the San Francisco 49ers. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

What Christian McCaffrey has done since his arrival from the Carolina Panthers has been sensational in changing the face of a ground offense that was already one of the best, either as a running back or as a receiver on breakaway plays. In four of the last six games he has managed to surpass 100 yards and his participation is more than key for the Niners to be able to generate sustained offenses on the field.

Although he alternates the command of the ground game with Ezekiel Elliott, the reality is that Tony Pollard has done a great job, since in the regular season he managed to surpass 1,000 yards and in the game against Tampa he had a great participation with 15 carries for 77 yards, in addition to three receptions.
The worst thing that could happen to the San Francisco 49ers would be to be overconfident and to assure that they have won the game, since they are favorites, but they will have to show it on the field with a good ground game and take the weight off Brock Purdy so that he does not have pressures and, once again, release his defense to pressure a quarterback who tends to make mistakes under pressure.
Even though the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were a weak opponent, the Dallas Cowboys did their job of establishing the ground game, not making mistakes in handing off the ball and putting pressure on the QB, so they will have to replicate this same formula after getting their first away win in the Playoffs in three decades.
If there is an old rivalry in the NFL, specifically in the NFC and not necessarily a divisional duel, it is when the San Francisco 49ers face the Dallas Cowboys, as there have been several meetings throughout the history of the Playoffs, remembering that last year the 49ers kicked out the Cowboys. It should be noted that the winner will play the winner of the series between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Dallas Cowboys vs San Francisco 49ers match will be played at the Levi’s Stadium, in Santa Clara, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 18:40 pm ET.
