Afternoon and this evening. One of the best tailgate parties in all of sports. What we got . Burgers, carne es sada, beers, music, everything. The parking lot is the place to be. The gates open inside the stadium in about 30 minutes. Weve also got lots of sunshine. A live look. Trey lance, former 49er quarterback is on the field warming up for the Dallas Cowboys, now a third string quarterback when we traded him to the cowboys. A lot of action, huge rivalry, sunday night football on nbc bay area. Thanks for being with us. Im raj mathai alongside janelle wang. We grew up around here. We know about this rivalry. Yes. The last time the 49ers and cowboys were in primetime was 30 years ago. On sunday night football. Thats when sunday night football was on espn. So its been a while. We know we remember very well this rivalry thats been taking place since the 70s, since we were born. 50 years. Im dating us. This rivalry is huge, this feud is huge, a lot of smack talking on both sides. Here we are, 49ers and cowboys. We saw tray lance on the field. Some of the cowboys are on the field. The 9ers will be coming up in about 1520 minutes. The 9ers are going in 41, dallas 31. Going into this game theyve played 39 times. Each have won 19 let me do the math, and someone a tie. 19191. Todays game will determine who takes the edge in this series so far. Were talking about this rivalry. Who better to ask than 49ers quarterback that won the last super bowl back in the 1994 season. Were talking about young v steve young. He faced the cowboys three straight nfc title games and got the monkey off his back, the famous comboet on their way to the super bowl in the 1994 season. We sat down with steve talking about this rivalry. Take a listen. Youre coming to me about Dallas Cowboys . Its drama, right . Its very dramatic in my life. For 49er fans, its the same. If youre younger, thats what youre missing. The whole league how many games. A thousand games a year. Only one game matters. The cowboys constantly believe theyre the greatest. Its amazing. Its americas team. Ive got a star on my helmet, im great. No youre not youre not. They have had a lot of talent for a lot of years and have not lived up to the talent. This year they what do you say, top three talented teams again, and now, can you live up to it . You havent played in 20 years. Youre fired up. Fired up. I love it. Plenty to say. Thats kind of fierce. Ive never seen that side of steve young. Theres bad blood there. Maybe feelings hurt. I dont know. The 90s were rough. If two games would have gone the other way in the nfc championship against the toys youve got the star on your helmet. Youre not that good. They say its americas team, i think we disagree. We have a lot to go. Kickoff at 5 20. Were also talking to Anthony Flores talking about the stayed tus updates. International headlines and local headlines. For that, lets toss it back to tara mcsweeney and gia swang. I like everything, thank you, steve young for everything. We continue to follow developing news overseas, israel is at war with hamas following a surprise attack by hamas militants in gaza. This is a live look in gaza where its just after 1 00 a. M. On monday. Minutes ago a National Security spokesperson confirmed several americans are among those dead in the conflict. The exact number of did and number for injured americans unavailable right now. Israels foreign minister says at least 600 israelis has died. The Palestinian HealthMinistry Says at least 600 palestinians have died since the attack friday night. This weekend hamas started a war against israel, the worst massacre of innocent civilians in israels history. Hamas was more barbaric and more brutal than isis. Let me be Crystal Clear, israel will respond with determination and force. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is meeting with military and defense leaders as Israeli Forces continue to battle hamas leaders hold up in several times. House speaker am mayor that nancy pelosi is strongly condemning the attacks calling it a brutal attack. She said congress will respond. These are acts of cowardice attacking grand mothers, families, children, kidnapping and the rest. These are acts of terrorism and acts of cowardice. I want you to know in the congress of the united states, and weve had many calls yesterday and this morning already, theres unity, bipartisan unity in support of what we need to do, whether its militarily, whether its diplomatically, whether its financially, to held our friends, the israelis. [ applause ] in less than an hour, a show of support for palestine in san francisco. It will be held outside the israeli consulate on montgomery street in the financial district. The group says its protesting against u. S. Aid to israel. We have a crew there and will bring you the latest after the game. After a few days of Crystal Clear blue skies and heat in san francisco, the fog rolled in on the very last day of the fleet week air shows. Lets take a live look. Right now it is going on. The blue angels are minutes away from taking off. Right now, i dont know if you can say, fat albert is somewhere in the sky. Fat albert being the support aircraft, that is, at marina green. There were plenty of people looking forward to a spectacular event. The fog, as tara mentioned, made an appearance which obscured the view. Despite the clouds we can hear them coming but we cant see anything. Not a good day. Yesterday was supposed to be the good day to come. Oh, too bad. The fog did cool the city a lot. One worker at the medic tent on marina green said they had three people faint because of the heat over the last couple days. They did not expect that to be an issue today. Okay. Lets head back out to levis stadium. Raj and janelle are there. Its such a nice day for football, too. A Beautiful Day at the 20 yard line. It is a Beautiful Day. They had fog in san francisco. That is too bad. Weve got lots of sunshine here at levis stadium, just over 80 degrees. A breeze just picked up on the field. It does feel very nice. Its pretty nice. The gate is open here in about 20 minutes. We see cowboys players on the field a few minutes ago. There are questions about some of the key 49ers players including the new guy they traded for from the Denver Broncos and also deeb bow samuel. Anthony flores joining us. Im not sure where you are, anthony. Take us away with our status update before kickoff. Reporter hey, guys, im in the end zone and im in the shade. With the breeze, it feels gorgeous. As you can see, no 49er Players Behind me but i was here when they started to arrive a little while ago. Tight end George Kittle always casually cool and big Eric Armstead looking like hes ready to play some football. The Injury Report will come out shortly. One name you wont see on there is debo samuel. He is definitely a player to keep an eye on. He was limited in practice last night. Last week in the win against arizona he was basically used as decoy. Three catches with no carries. Hes battling injuries with his rib and his knee. They will need his offensive production tonight. The strength of the cowboys is their defense. Theyre the only team in the nfl that ranks in the top five in three categories, yards allowed, sacks and turnovers. No doubt they will need brock purdy to take care of the football, something he has done all season long. He has not thrown an interception yet. As for the newest member of the 49ers, Randy Gregory transferred from denver, he went back to the mile high city, will not face his former team. He will rejoin the 49ers on monday. On defense and being fired up for the cowboys shouldnt be a problem for the 49ers. Theyve eliminated the cowboys the last last two seasons and the defense has done a great job at containing dak prescott. Guys, back to you. Okay. So what anthony is trying to say, its going to be a heck of a game. Its going to be a great game. Weve got nick bow is a. He just signed that 170 Million Contract for five years just before the season started. We are ready to rock. Statistically, when we talk about nick bosa, hasnt racked up all the sacks like he usually does. Youre waiting to are the Breakout Game statistically speaking. We sat down with him. This guy is so darn intense. We asked him what makes this cowboys 9ers rivalry so special. Just the way they play. They play hard. They have a really good culture there. You can see it out there on the field. Theyre allaround, top players at positions all over the field. They definitely resemble us a lot, the way they play and the way they dominate. Are you excited . Do you get excited for all these games or is it all business . Definitely excited. Im excited every sunday. I love to play. Throughout the week its just waiting for sunday. By the way, you noted those quads. He front squads how many . 475 pounds. Thats incredible. Thats a front spot my husband knows all these body builders. That means he could do a regular squat like 750 pounds. He wears shorts often and he has to get his pants tailored. A lot of action on the field. Still a lot of tailgaters outside before the gates open. 70,000 fans expected. Lets go outside to nbc bay areas Christie Smith where theres a party going on. Reporter 9ers fans certainly fired up. With the team coming in with a 40 record, the faithful are feeling pretty good. When it comes to tailgating, they certainly know what theyre doing. I want to give you a look. These are some of the first folks in the gate this morning. They set up quite a spread. Of course, theyre not the only ones. I want to take a look over here. Other folks have set up well, another grill. Theyve been going at it pretty much youre feeling good . Two questions . What do you have, what are you making and how are you feeling going into the game . Feeling good about a 9er victory today. My prediction is 3917, 9ers. Weve also seen cowboys fans out here. Theyre feeling confident, too. Thats the latest from here, Christie Smith, nbc bay area news. 3517. A lot of carne asada and chick earn on the grill. I like the food. Looking good. When we return, well check in with brock purdy. What makes him to special and why his salary allows the 49ers to succeed. Were going to talk money with brock purdy. Speaking of salary and money, the president of the 49ers, well ask him more about the salary and hosting another super bowl, super bowl lx coming back the levis stadium. Al guido joins us next. Picture perfect weather for this big game on sunday night football on nbc bay area. Get ready for b welcome back to our special clove raj of the 49ers and cowboys, sunday night football at levis stadium. Theres a party in the parking lot. The players are arriving onto the field, getting ready for a 5 20 kickoff. 9ers and cowboys, we can say with authority, it is the marquee matchup. You can see cowboys fans. They say 69 49er fans, 39 coy fans. We know this. The 9ers travel well. The cowboys travel well, around the world. These are argue blew the two top fan bases in the country. Were at levis and the 9ers are louder. Sthun who can confirm that is Team President of the 49ers, al guido. Going back 50 years, you must be excited. Super excited and excited to do it on primetime. These are two good football teams. You talked about the fan bases. Great fan bases. Raj mentioned weve done this to people on the road. There will be a coy boy contingent tonight. We hope to send them home sad. We know al is the president because hes wearing a threepiece suit. Its primetime. Youre so busy, youre the guy behind the scenes working with the business aspect. Weve got the super bowl coming here. Why was it awarded so quickly, two in ten years at levis . Were proud of this organization, the city we worked with. Last week we introduced an Economic Impact report saying levis stadium generated over 2 billion in Economic Impact, both intoel l, wrestle mania. Weve got a super bowl in february and a world cup that summer. No other city in the world can talk about both of those large scale events in the same time frame. You did this for super bowl l, the stuff going on behind the scenes. How are you going to Work Together and look forward to the future. Already a Great Partnership on those two events. Were moving the ball forward both on the field and off the field in our relationship. A lot of that was the 12,000 jobs we put into the market over the last ten years. These were big events to go get. We dont get them with just santa clara support. We got support all the way up to the governors office, constituents supported our efforts on all fronts. Its been very fun. It helps to have a great team on the field, no question. Its not lost on me that weve got a good football team. Lets take it one day at a time and start tonight. Can you break some news. We have had beyonce. If it was up to my daughters. I know where youre going. She sold out two nights here. Two nights, 33 million of Economic Impact. I had a ton of fun with her and her factor and the rest of her team. And beyonce, weve got a good schedule. Weve already announced luke combs. I heard ed sheeran. Ed sheeran, 80,000 seats, literally broke the record. He was so proud of that, he had to announce it on stage. I said you did more than the super bowl. He said, can i say it on stage. Sure, go for it. Al guido, Team President , thank you for being here. Thank you very much. Al guido, the president of the 49ers. A lot to be optimistic about. Lets also talk about brock purdy, talking about optimism and what hes done to this franchise, we can talk about how effective hes been. Its the guys in the trenches, theyre the real deal on this. Steve young, hall of famer and maybe future hall of famer nick bosa talking about purdy. This may be association with patrick mahomes. Some guys are just naturally at peace about being on the field in the nfl. Thats why when i compare him to patrick mahomes, im comparing to him how patrick feels at peace. Patrick showed up at peace and so did brock. The draft doesnt understand that thing. So much exposure now and a microscope on him. Does he get the respect he should be getting . If he doesnt get respect, i dont know what else he could possibly do to get respect. Hes undefeated in the regular season. Its not like hes not making plays every week. I think hes pretty confident in himself. I think our team does a good job of blocking out the noise and just kind of doing what they do. The entire nation is going to see brock purdy and the 9ers tonight. 101, the 49ers starting quarterback. A check of the weather. We know a Beautiful Day here, rob.
