49ers - Cowboys: Which recent games had the biggest points difference?
After last night, The Dallas Cowboys are the first NFL team since 2015 to win by 30 points in one game and lose by 30 in the following game.
The San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys have a long-time National Football League (NFL) rivalry.
The 49ers currently lead the series with a score of 20-19-1 and also have a 974-935 difference in points scored in all those contests. This rivalry is considered one of the most exciting inter-division games in the NFL. These two teams do not play every year. Instead, they play once every three years due to the NFL’s rotating division schedules. If they finish in the same place in their respective divisions, they will play against each other in the following season.
The two teams had a rivalry that went cold for many years due to their inability to qualify for the postseason together until 2021. That year, they faced each other in the Wild Card Round, with the 49ers winning 23-17. In the 2022 playoff divisional round, the 49ers won again, making the all-time series tied 19-19-1.
The Cowboys could not take revenge on the Niners last night, who had shattered their postseason dreams for the second consecutive year. To add insult to injury, they suffered an embarrassing and resounding loss to San Francisco.
On Sunday, the 49ers and Rams faced each other for the 40th time since 1960, including playoff games. The match was held at Levi’s Stadium and resulted in a historic record-breaking score of 42-10 in favor of the 49ers. This marked the largest point difference ever recorded between the two teams, surpassing the previous record held by the Dallas Cowboys, who defeated the 49ers with a score of 40-10 on October 22, 2017.
