The Dallas Cowboys Vs. The San Francisco 49ers game is just a few blinks away. This is arguably one of the most exciting games to happen this season. Why? Because the 49ers have knocked the Cowboys from the playoffs in the last seasons. In the wake of this game and paying homage to the legends, the Cowboys remind us of 2017 when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers did something that left the Cowboys speechless.

The Green Bay Packers upset, put the Cowboys in a desperate position, and it was a game that they might remember to this day. Aaron Rodgers’ efforts put the Packers 4-1 ahead of the competition, although they couldn’t win the Super Bowl. Let’s go back into the past.

The Cowboys were leading for most of the game, but the Packers turned things around in the final quarter. The Cowboys needed this win to improve their standings, but the Packers had other plans. They scored 6 points in the first quarter and only managed to get 3 points in the third quarter. However, what happened in the next quarter was extraordinary. The Packers scored a whopping 20 points in the last quarter. In the 4 quarter, 11 seconds remained on the clock when Rodgers threw a 12-yard to Davante Adams, which he ended up catching despite the tight defense.

What was exciting about the pass was that Rodgers tried it before as well, but the pass was knocked out by the opposition. It’s like he replicated the exact same play once again and succeeded at it. The Packers won the game by 35-31, thanks to Rodgers and Davante Adams. The team would go on to have 4 wins with a single loss in that season. The Cowboys lost the shootout in their own arena.

As it stands, they are in a somewhat similar position now, but slightly better. They are 3-1 on the winning side, but their next opponent stays undefeated. The Cowboys and the 49ers game is quite a famous rivalry.

Who will rock the Levi’s Stadium?

There is a history between these teams, and in the past, the 49ers have left the Cowboys with a chip on their shoulders, as they defeated the Cowboys not once, but twice. There have been arguments about the game, that if the Cowboys want to make it to the playoffs, they must defeat the 49ers in their own home.

This match is particularly exciting because the Cowboys are known for their impeccable defense, while on the other hand, the 49ers are known for their solid offensive game plays. With the No. 1 QB, Brock Purdy in their arsenal, paired with the CMC train, the 49ers seem to be unstoppable as of now. Maybe Purdy will do what Aaron Rodgers did to the Cowboys in 2017.

However, we cannot forget the Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb combo. They might just be able to penetrate the 49ers defense with their clever antics.
