The San Francisco 49ers have won 14 consecutive regular-season games since Week 8 of the 2022 season and have scored at least 30 points in each of their past seven wins.
With 30 points against Dallas on Sunday Night Football (5:20 PM PT, NBC), the 49ers can become the fifth team in NFL history to score 30 points in eight consecutive regular-season games, joining the 1999-2000 St. Louis Rams (14 consecutive games), 2010-11 New England Patriots (13), 2012-13 Denver Broncos (11) and 2006-07 New England Patriots (nine).
Quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to make his 10th career regular-season start on Sunday. He has won each of his first nine career regular-season starts and, with a win against Dallas, would become the third quarterback to begin his career since 1970 to win each of his first 10 career starts, joining Ben Roethlisberger (15 consecutive wins to begin his career) and Mike Tomczak (10).
In his first nine starts, Purdy has completed 166 of 236 pass attempts (70.3 percent) with 19 touchdowns (16 passing, three rushing) and a passer rating of 117.1. On Sunday, he can surpass Rob Johnson (113.8 rating) and Chad Pennington (70.8 percent) for the highest passer rating and highest completion percentage by a quarterback through his first 10 career starts in NFL history.
The quarterbacks with the highest passer rating through their first 10 career starts in NFL history:
| Player | Team(s) | Pass Rating |
| Brock Purdy | San Francisco | 117.1* |
| Rob Johnson | Jacksonville, Buffalo | 113.8 |

The quarterbacks with the highest completion percentage through their first 10 career starts in NFL history:
| Player | Team | Comp % |
| Chad Pennington | N.Y. Jets | 70.8 |

Running back Christian McCaffrey leads the NFL with 600 scrimmage yards and ranks tied for first in scrimmage touchdowns (seven) through the first four weeks of the season. In Week 5, he can become the fourth player in NFL history with at least 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in each of his team's first five games of a season, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Jim Brown (1958) and O.J. Simpson (1975) as well as Jamaal Charles (2013).
Dating back to Week 13 of the 2022 season and including the postseason, McCaffrey has recorded at least one scrimmage touchdown in 13 consecutive games. With a touchdown on Sunday Night Football, he would become the fifth player in NFL history to register a touchdown in 14 consecutive games, including the postseason, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Lenny Moore (17 consecutive games from 1963-64), John Riggins (15 consecutive games from 1982-83), O.J. Simpson (15 consecutive games from 1974-75) and Emmitt Smith (14 consecutive games in 1995).
The players with the most consecutive games with a touchdown, including the postseason, in NFL history:
| Player | Team | Games (Dates) |
| Lenny Moore | Baltimore Colts | 17 (Oct. 27, 1963 – Dec. 13, 1964) |
| John Riggins | Washington | 15 (Jan. 15, 1983 – Nov. 27, 1983) |
| O.J. Simpson | Buffalo | 15 (Dec. 12, 1974 – Dec. 20 – 1975) |
| Emmitt Smith | Dallas | 14 (Oct. 8, 1995 – Jan. 28, 1996) |
| Christian McCaffrey | San Francisco | 13* (Dec. 4, 2022 – current) |
McCaffrey recorded his 12th career game with both a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown last week. With another such game, he can surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer Lenny Moore (12 games) and Brian Westbrook (12) for the second-most such games in NFL history. Only Pro Football Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk (15 games) has more.
