Cowboys owner Jerry Jones believes his quarterback Dak Prescott can give the 49ers a run for their money — literally.
Prescott was “focused” against the Bucs, Jones said, and the veteran’s preparation helped lead Dallas to the divisional round. The Cowboys owner anticipates much of the same from Prescott on Sunday in all facets of his game.
“I think what you saw there [Monday] night, we’re going to get to see a lot of when we play San Francisco in terms of him keeping the ball and relying on that triple threat that he can have,” Jones said. “If we could get it, if he’s healthy enough to do it, his being able to instinctively take that ball and run with it … is really a dimension that [the 49ers’] defense has a difficult time adjusting to.
While it’s true that the 49ers’ defense has struggled against mobile quarterbacks in the past, this 2022 NFL season is a different story. San Francisco allowed the fifth-fewest yards rushing to quarterbacks among all NFL teams during the regular season with 213 or 12.5 per game. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, who was a top-10 rushing quarterback during the regular season, ran for 28 yards on four attempts against the 49ers in Saturday’s wild-card game.
