Not to mention, outside of the teams themselves, the rivalry between these two teams also maintains the California-Texas rivalry.

However, entering the second half of the 1990s, the league's famous destined rivals both fell into a trough, and the sparks of the duel were also mixed with a hint of bitterness.
The San Francisco 49ers have failed to enter the playoffs for eight consecutive years; and the Dallas Cowboys have only entered the playoffs in 2006 in the past eight years. Now, both teams are struggling in the quagmire and looking forward to returning to the top in the future.
In the past few seasons, the confrontation between the two teams has gradually weakened. No matter how glorious and exciting the history is, the confrontation between two weak teams still lacks something to watch, and the attention and spark index are no longer exciting.
This year, things seem to be changing. In the second week of the regular season, league officials made an official report early, naming the showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys as "the most worth watching game of the week." Even if it did not appear on the night game stage, the promotion and discussion were still They appear continuously in major media and forums, and are very lively.
First of all, both teams showed signs of recovery in the first week of games.

Each team hopes to continue their winning momentum, and both Hopefully, we can continue our strong performance and set the stage for a long season.
But, there is only one winner.
Secondly, the starting quarterbacks of the two teams will compete.
The leading quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is Tony Romo. There are countless undrafted rookies in the league, but there is only one undrafted rookie who has become the main quarterback. There is no semicolon - Kurt Warner does not have one at all. Participate in the draft.
In his three-and-a-half-year backup career, he was almost fired or traded by the team at least three times, but Romo finally waited for his opportunity. After serving as the starting quarterback, Romo was lucky enough to appear in the Sunday Night Game and Thanksgiving Night Game. stage, and won the recognition of fans with his wonderful performance.
As the quarterback of Team America, Romo gradually gained a foothold under the spotlight and led the team to the playoffs in 2006.
But it was during this season that Romo also experienced the most famous "The-Fumble" in league history.
In the first round of the playoffs, Romo led the team to challenge the Seattle Seahawks away from home. There were 79 seconds left before the end of the game. The Cowboys fell behind "20:21" and Romo led the team to the front two-yard line of the Seahawks end zone. , the third-block attack was fruitless, and as long as a free kick was scored, the Cowboys could complete the reversal.
In order to ensure safety, the team uses Romo as the ball supporter-the center passes the ball, the ball supporter catches the ball, and after the football is set up, the kicker kicks the ball.
However, Romo's hands shook and the football fell to the ground. The kicker couldn't kick off the ball at all. In desperation, Romo could only pick up the football and rush the ball. Unfortunately, it failed. Eventually, the Cowboys were eliminated as well.
Thus, "The-Fumble" was born. This also became the origin of Romo's title of "Master of Mistakes"; therefore, based on his English name "Romo", domestic rugby fans affectionately call him "Teacher Meat".
Still, over the next four years, Romo became a leading figure for the Dallas Cowboys and was considered one of the top quarterbacks closest to an elite quarterback.
Now, after Tony Romo, another undrafted rookie starting quarterback has been born: Lu Ke of the San Francisco 49ers, and he is also a Chinese-American quarterback.
Lu Ke's current career is lackluster, with only one game, and he still needs to slowly prove himself. However, this game yielded a near-full score and a near-perfect answer sheet.
So, can Lu Ke become the second Romo? And against Romo, can Lu Ke continue his performance? Can Lu Ke defeat Romo? Or, after twelve o'clock, the magic disappears and Cinderella becomes Cinderella again?
