1) Road teams were 1-5 in the NFL playoffs. Niners had the only win.
2) Aaron Rodgers is 0-3 against the 49ers in the playoffs.
3) Cowboys averaged 6 yards per play over the season, but 4.4 against the 49ers. Extrapolated over the season, that would be last in the NFL.
4) Cowboys were #1 in scoring offense at 31.3 in the NFL. Niner defense held them to just over half their season average.
5) Jimmy Ward said SF loaded up against the run to "dare" Prescott to beat them with his passing.
6) Niner OL didn't give up a sack.
7) Robbie Gould hasn't missed a FG in his playoff career. He's 18-18.
8) Remember that fake punt again Dallas? Niner special teams players should remember there's no pass interference on fake punts. Just for the future.
9) Niners finished 7th in the NFL in rushing (127.4) and got better as they went along. They averaged 138.8 rush ypg the last four regular season games and ran for 169 against the Cowboys.
10) 49ers ranked 5th in the NFL with 48 sacks in 2021.
11) 49ers were #3 in total defense.
12) Jimmy G. had a 98.7 passer rating this year, but a 102.9 in his last 10 regular season games.
13) Packers beat the 49ers 30-28 in game 3 of the regular season on a 51 yard walkoff field goal.
14) There will be a high of 21 degrees on Saturday. Game time is 5:15 local time.
No PI? Or no 5 yard rule? Can’t believe if they throws pass to a receiver and he’s tackled while ball is in air that it’s not PI.
Nonetheless, Norman didn’t play the gunner. He turned and headed back towards the returner. A major mental error. Niners should have kept their defense in and replaced a safety with Benjamin - on orders to fair catch.
