What’s worth watching in the 49ers’ final three games? Key rookies and free agents [The Sacramento Bee]
Dec. 20—Sunday’s game between the 49ers and Cowboys was supposed to be one of the biggest of the year.
It was supposed to feature two marquee franchises with Super Bowl aspirations scheduled to play on NBC’sSunday Night Football, serving as the premier game of the Week 15 slate.
Instead, both teams lost their starting quarterbacks to injuries, are 9-17 combined and the game has been flexed to the 10 a.m. slot on the West Coast in favor of the Browns and Giants (seriously). That game will be a matchup of two playoff teams, while San Francisco vs. Dallas will not, even though 49ers players have talked about winning the final three games to keep their postseason chances alive as a source of motivation.
