Dallas Cowboys-San Francisco 49ers Game Highlights NFL Week 8 Slate
San Francisco and Dallas will face off for the fourth straight season when they meet on Sunday … [+]
Dallas and San Francisco, two teams in need of a statement victory, will play for the fourth time in four seasons in the feature game in Week 8 of the NFL’s prime time schedule Sunday night.
The recent meetings have been all San Francisco. The 49ers have won the last three, eliminating Dallas from the playoffs in one-touchdown games in 2021 and 2022 and blowing out the Cowboys 42-10 on Oct. 8, 2023.
Neither team looks the same this time. The 49ers have been beset by injuries. Running back Christian McCaffrey has not played this season because of an Achilles injury, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk suffered a season-ending knee injury in last week’s 28-18 loss to Kansas City and wide receiver Deebo Samuel was hospitalized last week.

The usually staunch 49ers’ defense ranks in the middle of the pack in total defense and scoring defense, in part because of injuries to linebacker Dre Greenlaw and safety Talanoa Hufanga. The Cowboys have given up 28 points per game, 31st in the NFL in scoring defense, and could welcome the return of Pro Bowl linebacker Micah Parsons.

The Vikings suffered their first loss when Detroit kicked a field goal with 15 seconds remaining in the Lions’ 31-29 victory Sunday, that after the Vikings had taken one-point late moments before. A final desperation drive was blunted by an illegal formation penalty that forced a Hail Mary pass instead of a 68-yard field goal try.
Minnesota has an NFL-high 30.3 percent blitz rate, which has helped produce a league-high 11 interceptions and other counterintuitive results. Vikings’ opponents are averaging 260.3 passing yards per game, which ranks 30th, but opponents are averaging only 80 yards per game on the ground.
The Vikings have 11 Lions’ halfback Jahmyr Gibbs torched Minnesota for 116 yards rushing and 160 yards from scrimmage last week.
The Rams’ defense has been exposed since All-Pro lineman Aaron Donald’s offseason retirement, and quarterback Matthew Stafford’s offense has been unable to carry the load after challenging injuries to wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.
The Rams have scored more than two touchdowns in only one game, a 27-24 victory over the 49ers. Williams has nine of their 12 touchdowns this season, and he has an NFL-high 24 scores from scrimmage since the start of last season.

Sunday Night
Dallas Cowboys (3-3) at San Francisco 49ers (3-4)
How to watch: NBC/Peacock, 8:20 pm ET
Key matchup: Dak Prescott vs San Francisco D
Early line: Cowboys -4 1/2
Then-rookie quarterback Brock Purdy proved himself on the national stage in the 49ers’ 19-12 victory over the Cowboys in the NFC Divisional playoffs on Jan. 16, 2023, improving to 7-0 as a starter. After a strong 2023 regular season, however, Purdy has not been the same while being forced to play without his major support weapons.

The red zone has been the 49ers’ major issue. San Francisco has reached the red zone almost 4 1/2 times per game, second only to Washington, but has scored touchdowns less than half the time — 45 percent, among the worst figures in the league.
Dallas, back from a bye week, has not found a suitable running game to complement quarterback Prescott and Cee Dee Lamb, averaging a league-low 77 yards rushing per game, and its one-sided attack also has struggled in the red zone. Only quarterback-shy Miami has converted fewer red zone opportunities into touchdowns than Dallas.
Prescott has thrown six interceptions and three touchdowns in the last three against San Francisco, the only team of the next five on the Dallas schedule with a losing record.

Monday Night
New York Giants (2-5) at Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2)
How to watch: ABC/ ESPN/ESPN+, 8:15 pm ET
Key matchup: Russell Wilson vs Giants D
Early line: Steelers -6.5
These teams are clearly headed in opposite directions, and Pittsburgh could be a potential Super Bowl contender rather than the one-and-done playoff team it has been the last six seasons if Wilson continues to shine.
Wilson threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score in his first start of the season in the Steelers’ 37-15 rout over the skidding New York Jets last week. Wilson, who gives the Steelers’ a passing threat to go with their strong defense looked rusty early but finished by competing 14 of his final 21 throws.
The Steeler have nine interceptions after picking Aaron Rodgers twice and have a plus-nine turnover margin.

The Giants have tools the to give Wilson some trouble. They lead the league in sack percentage, and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is tops with nine sacks, the only interior lineman with more than four.
Only Miami is averaging fewer points (11.7) than the Giants’ 14.1. New York has scored only one touchdown in its last two games, losses to Cincinnati and Philadelphia. Former Giant Saquon Barkley had 176 yards rushing against the Giants last week.

Thanksgiving food drives help struggling Bay Area families facing food insecurity: ‘Feed everybody’
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — With only five days until Thanksgiving, food drives are kicking off to help across the Bay Area to help families experiencing food insecurity enjoy a holiday meal. This is all at a time when so many people are struggling financially.
Volunteers were cheering on every car, dropping off donations for the annual SF Turkey Drive.
Pierre Smit founded the turkey drive in 2012. It’s a community call to action for frozen Turkeys and Thanksgiving food donations, which benefits the SF-Marin Food Bank and its partners.
“This is extremely important. We want to make sure we feed everybody. We want to make sure we don’t have hungry people in San Francisco,” Smit said.
“This is a very good thing. I want to see it do well and support St. Anthony’s and the food bank, for those who need it most,” said Donna Howe from San Francisco.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and his family stopped by to help collect food donations.
“This is all about bringing community together, looking out for each other during this holiday season. We have an affordability crisis in the city and the country. We have to take care of each other. That’s what today is about,” Lurie said.
The food bank says it’s a critical time for families facing food insecurity. Demand is higher now than at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We’re seeing a 205% spike in people coming to our food locator — that’s people going online, trying to find food,” said Angela Wirch from SF-Marin Food Bank.
In the South Bay, a free drive-thru turkey giveaway in Santa Clara is lending a hand to a lot of families in need.
“I said, ‘You know, I’m having a hard time, so I’m going to come by and get a turkey for my family,’” said Manuel Rojas.
State Senator Aisha Wahab hosted the annual giveaway. She says it gets bigger every year.
“We know there’s people who live in poverty and in the shadows,” Wahab said.
On Thursday in Santa Cruz, demand overwhelmed supply at a drive-thru Thanksgiving food giveaway. Organizers ran out of food within hours after thousands of people showed up.
“One of the things we’ve heard, they’ve either been laid off, struggling. They didn’t want to come and receive a turkey but can’t deny they’re in need this year,” Wahab said.

When most people walk up to a vending machine, they expect to find sodas, chips or candy bars. But at a new kiosk in San Francisco, customers are met with something different: fresh pasta.
Chef Anthony Strong, owner of Pasta Supply Co., spent Monday restocking his latest project, a vending machine filled with freshly made pastas and sauces prepared at his flagship restaurant in the Mission District.
“So our most popular pasta by far is mafaldine,” Strong said, as he loaded containers into the machine.
Strong says the idea came from wanting to make his restaurant’s ingredients more accessible, even for people who have never visited in person.
The pasta and sauces are produced daily at the shop, then packaged and delivered to the vending machine for customers to take home and cook in minutes.
“I was like, hah, maybe we could actually just open tiny little versions of our pasta shop, selling fresh pastas and sauces, and you know, easy things for dinners at home,” he said.
From mafaldine to rigatoni, Strong said he hopes the machines can help busy workers avoid the nightly scramble for dinner.
“If they’re leaving work and they’re like, ah shoot, I didn’t make a plan for tonight, what am I going to do, we just wanted to be another option so people didn’t have to make an extra stop at a grocery store or go online and order a 40 dollar salad delivered on an app, or anything like that,” he said.
Customers appear curious and hungry. As Strong replenished the machine, David Pincus walked up and inspected the offerings.
“I haven’t seen a vending machine for homemade pasta before, so I hope it works out,” Pincus said. When asked what he chose, he replied, “I got meatballs, bucatini and chocolate panna cotta.”
Strong isn’t Italian, but he credits his early start in the restaurant world at age 15 for setting his path.
“Pasta found me,” he said with a laugh.
With two restaurants already open in San Francisco and more vending machines in development, Strong says his mission is simple: make fresh, approachable meals available to everyone, especially after a long day.
“Getting people, you know, approachable, affordable meals out, and approachable and affordable ingredients for meals at home.”
BART service has been halted between South Hayward and the Berryessa station in San Jose during the Friday morning commute, officials said.
Around 5:20 a.m., the agency issued a service advisory about the issue, which they said involved an equipment problem. In a subsequent update, BART said wayside equipment was damaged due to suspected vandalism.
As of about 6:30 a.m., BART said crews were working on repairs, but there is no estimated time on when service would resume through the area.
Other parts of the system in the East Bay, San Francisco and Peninsula are not affected. Green Line trains from Daly City are going as far as the Bayfair station in San Leandro, while Orange Line trains from Richmond are going as far as Hayward.
The agency has sent extra staff to help at stations with no train service. AC Transit is providing free mutual bus service connecting impacted stations between Hayward and Milpitas.
