49ers vs Cowboys Preview
The Cowboys are coming off a 30-7 win over the Cincinnati Bengals last week. Andy Dalton went 16-23 for 185 yards and two touchdowns against his former team, while Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard split carries, netting 87 yards between them.
They’ll be going up against a San Francisco team with more questions than answers at the quarterback position.
Nick Mullens will get the nod again for the 49ers despite two costly turnovers in last week’s 23-15 loss to the Washington Football Team. Mullens went 25-45 for 260 yards, a touchdown and an interception that was returned by Kamren Curl for a 76-yard score. A Chase Young strip sack then led to another Mullens turnover — and another WFT touchdown.
“If he wants to stay out there, he’s got to stop turning the ball over,” San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said about Mullens this week. “But I think when you look back to Sunday night, I think the other thing that sticks out the most is he missed a number of open throws, just throwing over guys’ heads, I guess, about four of them right now. I think that really sticks out to people and sticks out to fans and stuff, and it does to me, also. Nick needs to make those throws and he’s capable of making those throws, but I also know it doesn’t help when you have nine drops on top of that.”
One interesting storyline to watch will be surrounding Cowboys pass rusher Aldon Smith, who was a former first-round pick of the 49ers in 2011. It will be a reunion of sorts, as Smith spent his first four seasons with the 49ers before leaving the league for several years in 2015.
Smith is back this year after Dallas gave him another shot, and he currently leads the team in sacks with five. “It’s been great to have Aldon here,” Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said about Smith Wednesday. “I just think his personal story, his flight, to be doing what he’s doing is something unique and special. He’s been fun to work with — a very creative individual.”
Smith will likely get his chances against Mullens and a depleted 49ers o-line. The 49ers are three-point favorites in this one, so a close game is expected.
