The Dallas Cowboys are currently gearing up for their upcoming home game vs the San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys are coming off a quiet trade deadline that left fans feeling frustrated following the team's recent narrow road win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Now, Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has urged the team to keep its emotions in check when facing off against the rival 49ers.
“Can’t make it a personal situation. The rivalry is going to be the rivalry, regardless. It’s 49ers-Cowboys. Yeah, they’ve had some success on us, but we have an opportunity to change that on Sunday,” said Lamb, per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on X, formerly Twitter.
Indeed, the 49ers have experienced their fair share of success against the Cowboys over the last few years, knocking Dallas out of the playoffs in both the 2021 and 2022 seasons, along with racking up some regular season victories over them along the way.
The Cowboys have largely been a disaster so far this year, with the offense and defense rarely both showing up in the same game. Dallas needed a late-game drive from Dak Prescott and company this past weekend to knock off the lowly Colts after the Cowboys had relinquished yet another double-digit lead.
Meanwhile, the 49ers come into this one riding high as the top seed in the NFC, having just added wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Colts at the trade deadline, so Dallas will need to bring its A-game in order to get a win.
In any case, kickoff between the 49ers and Cowboys is set for Sunday at 4:25 pm ET from Arlington.
