The 49ers are 3-4, third in the NFC West and beset with injuries. Kyle Shanahan's team fell 28-18 to the Chiefs last week and quarterback Brock Purdy threw three interceptions.

The 49ers also lost star receiver Brandon Aiyuk to injury in that game. Many pundits felt San Francisco was the NFC's number-one team. The reigning NFC champions have played well below their standards so far.

As have the Cowboys. Dallas last played two weeks ago when they suffered embarrassment at the hands of the Detroit Lions. At 3-3, Dallas' season is teetering on the edge of success or failure. And with more negative noise coming out of Texas, the Cowboys are in must-win territory.

But the 49ers are the Cowboys' bogey team. San Francisco has defeated Dallas in their last three meetings. Something must change for the Cowboys.

So read on for how to watch 49ers vs Cowboys, along with all of this season's football, with our 2024/25 NFL live streams guide .
