Week 5: Cowboys @ 49ers

Big game tonight. The outcome could have direct playoff implications later this season.

Inactives are: Randy Gregory, Brayden Willis, Eli Mitchell, Jalen Graham, Nick Zakelj, Kalia Davis

I swear Eli Mitchell spends far more time in the trainer's room than on a football field.

I don't think the Niners will score 30+ points this time and I also don't see CMC racking up big stats; I think the Cowboys will swarm defenders to/around him and force Purdy to beat them. Force feeding CMC won't work if that's what the Cowboys are gearing up for and not having Mitchell will hurt. I do think play action fakes to CMC should work great since the Cowboys will have guys following him all over the field. Purdy will need to play smart (he usually does!) and take what the defense gives him; lots of quick throws to offset the Cowboys pass rush. This would be a great time to see Kittle be a more active part of the passing game.

Nothing like Cowboys/Niners in primetime.
Pumped to see Purdy on the big stage

Curious when/if Big J pops in here lol

YES!! Great movement by Purdy to get away from the rush and Kittle wide open.

Dynamite start for the offense.

Defense needs to follow suit

You couldn’t script this any better for our opening drive.

Love the way Purdy escaped the pass rush and led Kittle for that clean reception. That's poise.

Well that was surgical. Let's hope they can keep it up.

Dallas' defense must be saying "I don't think these guys are the Giants".

We got lucky there, he was wide open
