The San Francisco 49ers, 7-1 and tied for the NFL’s best record, visit the 4-5 Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 15, at AT&T Stadium, according to the Cowboys’ official preview. Kickoff is 1:25 p.m. PST and the game will be on FOX, with radio on KSAN, KNBR and 680 AM, the 49ers’ schedule lists.
Why it matters: The Cowboys said Sunday will be only San Francisco’s third true road game of the season. The 49ers are 5-0 at home and are coming off a 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders at Levi’s Stadium on Nov. 8, per the team schedule.
The Cowboys’ preview said the 49ers are third in the league in scoring at 29.4 points per game and lead the NFL in red-zone touchdown rate at 84.6%. It listed Brock Purdy as third in passer rating at 109.8, with 17 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Newly acquired receiver Keenan Allen will face Dallas for a second straight week; the Cowboys said he had four catches for 26 yards against them last Sunday in Indianapolis.

The Cowboys also noted that DeForest Buckner was brought back from the Colts, that Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is hopeful to return and that Mike Evans is still dealing with an Achilles strain. They said defensive tackle Gracen Holton is out for the season with a fractured ankle suffered against the Raiders. After Dallas, the 49ers are scheduled to play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 22, at 5:20 p.m. PST in Mexico City, on NBC.
