The 49ers’ quarterback Purdy boasts an impressive 9-0 record in the regular season, a testament to the challenge ahead. Achieving ten consecutive victories in any context is a formidable task. While Dallas presents a formidable defense, ranking second in the league, poised to counter the second-ranked total offense of San Francisco.

However, the return of Tyron Smith and Zack Martin to full practice status on Thursday, without appearing on the injury report, bolsters the Cowboys’ offensive line, ensuring it’s at full strength for Sunday’s clash.
