Divisional-round matchups that could decide each game: ◻️ 49ers’ run game vs. Cowboys’ front seven ◻️ Eagle's weapons vs. Giants’ slot defenders ◻️ Jaguars’ pass rush vs. Patrick Mahomes ◻️ Bills QB option game vs. the Bengals’ defense
In last season’s wild-card matchup between these teams, the Cowboys were 3.5-point home favorites. The 49ers went into Dallas and rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns, winning 23-17. The 49ers’ offense is nowAdvertisement
The Cowboys finished the regular season ranked fourth in defensive success rate against the run, meaning they were good on a down-to-down basis. But they gave up 67 runs of at least 10 yards, fourth-most in the NFL. The 49ers, meanwhile, ranked fifth in explosive run rate from Week 8 on, once they fully incorporated McCaffrey into the offense.
The Cowboys are an aggressive single-gap team. They fly upfield to cause disruption, but when they miss, the runner can get into the secondary, where Dallas struggles to tackle. This issue is particularly problematic on outside runs — the 49ers’ specialty.On this play, the 49ers were in 21 personnel , but what makes the 49ers’ 21 personnel special is that they can get into spread looks and have four viable receivers who can create mismatches.
