Jerry Jones-owned Dallas Cowboys are currently on a 4-9 record heading into Week 15. After two consecutive losses, the Texas-based franchise got back to winning ways with a 7-30 win over Cincinnati Bengals last week. They will rely on Andy Dalton to lead them in the absence of the injured Dak Prescott.
RB Ezekiel Elliott and S Xavier Woods are both listed as ‘questionable’ for today’s game at the AT&T Stadium. Coach McCarthy will make the decision on their inclusion on Gameday itself. But it will be the Cowboys defense led by DeMarcus Lawrence who will be pivotal in order to secure a win on Sunday.

After reaching the Super Bowl last season, the 2020 NFL season has been one to forget for Kyle Shanahan’s San Francisco 49ers. They’ve been plagued with injuries to offensive and defensive stars, including but not limited to, QB Jimmy Garoppolo, DE Nick Bosa and star TE George Kittle.
They will need backup QB Nick Mullens to step up and take control like he did in the win over Los Angeles Rams a couple of weeks ago. The 49ers will benefit from the return of Richard Sherman to the starting lineup. Defensive stars Javon Kinlaw, Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw will be crucial for the visitors if they want to return home with a win.
