Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are riding a 10-game home winning streak as they get set to play five of their next seven games at AT&T Stadium. Matthew Stafford is visiting his hometown team for the first time since joining the Los Angeles Rams — and becoming a Super Bowl champion. Dallas (4-2) is still trying to bury the bad memory of a blowout loss at San Francisco.
San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel will miss at least the next two games with a hairline fracture in his shoulder. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that a CT scan determined the extent of the injury suffered on the first play last week in Cleveland. Samuel will miss the game for the 49ers (5-1) on Monday night and the following week at home against Cincinnati.
San Francisco's high-powered offense that seemed unstoppable to begin the season looked awfully pedestrian after losing two key playmakers in a game against Cleveland's stellar defense. With Deebo Samuel missing most of the game with a shoulder injury and Christian McCaffrey sidelined for most of the second half with an injured oblique and rib, the 49ers struggled to move the ball for most of the second half in a 19-17 loss to the Browns on Sunday. “Any time you lose real good players like that, it's a challenge,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday.
