The Dallas Cowboys have dropped each of their last four games against the San Francisco 49ers, including two matchups in the playoffs.

This coming Sunday, the struggling Cowboys will look to end that losing streak against a red-hot, 7-1 49ers squad.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was asked about this losing streak when speaking to reporters on Thursday.

“I want to beat them absolutely. And I’m not naive to what has happened or my history against them," Prescott said, via team insider Jon Machota of The Athletic. "But to put that on the rest of these guys or put that on the locker room, I think that’s stupid.

“This is about us going in and getting a win. And us trying to win this game and get some momentum going and get back-to-back wins for the first time this season and build off of that. So, what a great opportunity to get to do it against a 7-1 team. It just so happens that it be the Niners."

“Obviously I want to get a win and everybody in this building does for a bunch of different reasons," he continued. "But at the end of the day, it’s a 7-1 team coming in here and we’ve got an opportunity to beat them. We’ve got to go do everything we can to get that done.”

Prescott and the Cowboys are 4-5 to open up the 2026 season, suffering some disappointing losses along the way. Dallas blew a fourth quarter lead over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, and barely snuck out a win over the rebuilding Indianapolis Colts in Week 9.

Sunday's Week 10 matchup between the 49ers and Cowboys will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET from AT&T Stadium.
