The Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers will clash on Sunday in one of four late afternoon starts in Week 4 of the NFL 2016 regular season. Today's game will see the Cowboys travel on the road to the 49ers' Levi's Stadium hoping to build upon their victory last week. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the Fox network. The game can also be watched online through live stream via the link below.
The Cowboys were quick out of the blocks last week, playing at home at the AT&T Stadium against the lowly Chicago Bears. They piled on 10 unanswered points in the opening quarter, and followed that up with 14 in the second to lead 24-3 at half time.
Although it appeared the Cowboys took their foot off the accelerator in the second half, they did enough to hold onto their lead to win comfortably and move to 2-1.
However, they will know that all that hard work last week will be useless if they don't do the business in California today.
The 49ers do have some talented players, but the Cowboys will definitely see opposition of San Francisco's caliber as the type they must win against if they are to make the Playoffs this season.
The 49ers come into this game on 1-2 having been swept aside by the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field last week. The manner of that 37-18 loss will have been demoralizing for San Francisco, as for three quarters they were simply second best by far on all areas of the field. Going into the fourth, the Seahawks were 30-3 up and barring a late rally by the 49ers that made the scoreline a little more respectable there was little they can take from last week's game.
San Francisco must be vastly improved this week if they are to claim a win against a strong Dallas Cowboys outfit.
Earlier this week on NFL Monday Night Football, the Bengals fought their way back to 2-2 with a solid victory over the Miami Dolphins. After a tight first quarter that ended 10-7 to the Bengals, Cincinnati never looked back.
Through the next three quarters the Bengals successfully and brutally shutdown the Dolphins offense, which allowed their own offense to pick off points to slowly extend their lead and gain a comfortable win.
A.J. Green got 10 catches for 173 yards and a touchdown int he game to lead the Bengals back to 2-2 after two straight losses.
Speaking about getting back to his best after a lackluster display against the Denver Broncos in Week 3, Green said, "I hold myself to a very high standard. I know what I'm capable of. Last week I didn't perform to that level. I had to refocus on a short week."
Meanwhile, the Dolphins were unable to gain any traction in offense, and after three quarters the Miami offense had just 152 total yards, compared to Green's 166 to his name alone.
Miami's Ryan Tannehill did pull off a 74 yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills on their second play, but apart from that there was little to cheer for the Dolphins offense.
Tennehill finished with 15 of 25 for 189 yards for one touchdown, one interception, a fumble and five sacks.
He said, "Not a lot worked. We really didn't do anything well. It was one of our worst performances from our offense in a long time."
