The 49ers’ must shield Brock Purdy and pester Dak Prescott in Sunday’s divisional-playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys at Levi’s Stadium.
SANTA CLARA — Standing guard inside Levi’s Stadium’s northwest gate are statues of Dwight Clark and Joe Montana, re-enacting “The Catch” from the defining moment in 49ers history.
“Last year was my first time getting a taste of it. I didn’t fully understand it,” wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk said of the 49ers-Cowboys rivalry. “Now this year, getting a second time at it, and getting to hear about the rich history between these teams and the fans, it makes it super fun.” The Cowboys pose the most intimidating defensive front that Brock Purdy will have faced since replacing an injured Jimmy Garoppolo six games ago, on Dec. 4. Dallas’ star attraction, no pun intended, is Micah Parsons, an NFL Defensive Player of the Year candidate most of the season.
Offensive tackles Trent Williams and Mike McGlinchey have overcome injury issues during the season and must be sturdy bookends, against Parsons and Lawrence . The Cowboys also showed an ability to attack up the middle Monday night against Tom Brady.
