The Dallas Cowboys will be facing the San Francisco 49ers in a Wild Card matchup on Sunday. Dak Prescott Cowboys quarterback, opened up about his preparations for the 49ers and said that it’s a bit different to prepare for the playoffs.
Prescott replied, “Maybe just slightly more film,” when Prescott was asked about his playoff preparations. “Maybe just a little more film than in the regular breakdown. There are four to five games. Sometimes, you might want to see how they did in playoff games against other teams. It’s not just about getting a feel for the (defensive coordinator) and his call games, but also how he plans to play them and why he’s trying to scheming against different teams. I was just trying to understand how they came into this match against us.
Prescott was able to have a strong regular season with the Cowboys, despite having to deal with nagging injuries at times and inconsistencies. He threw for 4,449 yard, 37 touchdowns, and ten interceptions during the season. Prescott’s 37 touchdowns in the season broke the Cowboys single-season record previously held by Tony Romo at 36.

The 49ers finished the year strong. After sitting at 3-5 in Week 9, San Francisco turned the tables with a three-game winning streak that saw them reach 6-5. After losing to Seattle, beating Cincinnati and Atlanta, the 49ers lost to Tennessee and won against Houston and Los Angeles. The 49ers finished the season at 10-7.
