The San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys do not play each other during the regular season. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hopes his team has an opportunity to face the Niners in the playoffs, though.
As is often the case, the Cowboys' 2021 playoff run ended after one game. This time, it was a 23-17 home loss to the 49ers. San Francisco went on to beat the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field before falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion Rams in the NFC title game.
Next up for the Cowboys are the Rams at SoFi Stadium. So you can bet Jones was watching Monday night's bout between the Rams and the 49ers.
"Both those are good teams," Jones said during his regular interview on the "Shan and RJ" show, per
Logan Mullen of 95.7 The Game. "I thought last year we had a chance and could compete against those teams, we didn't get it done against San Francisco last year.
"I hope we get a chance to put this team up against them when it really counts, in the playoffs. Those are two teams you should watch, you should have your eye on because somehow we've got to get by them to get where we want to go."
The Cowboys, who lost starting quarterback Dan Prescott to a thumb injury in Week 1's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are 3-1 heading into their matchup against the Rams. While Prescott still struggles with properly gripping the football, Jones has not yet ruled the quarterback out for Sunday's game in Inglewood, California.
The Rams are 2-2 after their 24-9 loss to the 49ers at Levi's Stadium on Monday night.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
