Dallas Cowboys face ghosts of NFC past after Jerry Jones fortnight of despair
Perhaps the last place Jerry Jones would want his Dallas Cowboys returning from their bye is San Francisco.
The Cowboys sit at 3-3 but coming off their break things feel a little worse - as is the case for 'America's Team' it tends to be feast or famine.
The Sunday Night Football cameras will be at Levi's Stadium as an injury-hit 49ers play host to the Cowboys and neither team have a winning record - a far cry from the NFC Championship rivalry games of the 1990s.
The teams won eight of their 10 Super Bowls in the 80s and 90s, but both teams Lombardi trophy will be 30 years or more when this season's champion is crowned in New Orleans.
The Cowboys last win was in 1995, while the 49ers came one year earlier in 1994.
While the title drought for both goes on, the 49ers have been serious contenders with two trips to the Super Bowl as NFC champions in the last five seasons, and two more appearance's in the Conference Championship.
The Cowboys have not been back in the Championship round since 1995.
