Cowboys seek to maintain playoff hopes in Week 10 matchup

The Dallas Cowboys host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10 of the NFL season on November 12, 2026. After a narrow victory over the Indianapolis Colts last week, the Cowboys improved to 4-5 and moved up three spots in the NFC standings. Despite their optimistic outlook, Dallas faces a challenging matchup against the conference leaders, with the potential for a drop to 4-6 if they lose. The Cowboys are looking for outside help this week; they would benefit from losses by division rivals like the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Rams, while the Philadelphia Eagles are on a bye. This week’s results could significantly impact the Cowboys' playoff aspirations.
