Trey Lance’s knowledge is the secret weapon for the Cowboys! Before the highly expected “Sunday Night Football” game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys at Levi’s Stadium, a revealing video clip by 49ers on NBCS has thrust the spotlight onto young quarterback Trey Lance. The question to Nick Bosa: Can Lance’s insider insights give the Cowboys the upper hand?
Lance started his journey low on the 49ers’ depth chart and now finds himself wearing the star for the Cowboys. But it’s a familiar narrative for him, as he once played backup for the likes of Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper, much like he did with Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold in San Francisco. The plot thickens as reports suggest the Cowboys plan to lean on Lance for valuable insights into the 49ers’ offense in their week 5 showdown.

Historically, the 49ers have been on the losing end three times against the Cowboys. However, according to Nick Bosa, the 49ers’ defensive end, things are different now. The team is more focused and determined, and it’s all about who executes better on game day. Bosa believes that having Trey Lance doesn’t guarantee the Cowboys an advantage; after all, NFL teams share information, but game plans remain closely guarded secrets.
"They have Trey, so I'm sure they have an idea [of our plan]."

In a lighthearted moment, Nick Bosa acknowledged the familiarity between the two teams, stating, “They have Trey, so I’m sure they have an idea [of the plan].” He went on to emphasize that, “I think the NFL is a copycat league, and everybody knows pretty much everything.”
However, Head Coach Kyle Shanahan was also pressed on the issue of Lance’s insider knowledge. “You can explain what we look at and stuff like that, which usually you can when you can stack up a lot of tape over years, and we’ve been here for a while, and previous [to Lance being drafted].” Shanahan explained, “So hopefully, he’s talking to them all the time and making them focus totally on that instead of the simple stuff of watching the tape.”
The Cowboys must be eager to avenge past defeats, and the 49ers are well aware of the importance of this game.
