Why the 49ers can cover
The 49ers have been hit with injuries to the offensive side of the ball. Despite that, quarterback Brock Purdy is third in the league in passing yards (1,841), 11th in passing touchdowns (nine), and 11th in QBR (60.9). He has thrown for 200-plus yards in every game this season.
In the backfield, running back Jordan Mason has been a productive force. He’s tough to bring down in open space and picks up yards after contact. The 25-year-old ranks second in the NFL in carries (128) and rushing yards (667) with three touchdowns. He has finished with at least 50 rushing yards in seven straight games.

Why the Cowboys can cover
Quarterback Dak Prescott has the accuracy to layer throws on all three levels while being able to diagnose coverages quickly. The 31-year-old is 10th in the NFL in passing yards (1,602) with eight touchdowns.
Receiver CeeDee Lamb regularly showcases why he’s one of the best playmakers in the game. Lamb lines up all over the formation with sticky hands and can also be shifty in open space. This season, he has 32 receptions for 467 yards and two touchdowns. Lamb has notched 80-plus yards in three games this season. In his last outing, he had seven catches for 89 yards.
