The Cowboys won the NFC East division title in 2021 with a 12-5 record. The 49ers, who needed a Week 18 victory to clinch the NFC’s final playoff spot, went on to upset the Cowboys 23-17 at AT&T Stadium.
San Fran would upset the top-seeded Green Bay Packers in the Divisional Round a week later, but they eventually fell to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

San Francisco finished as the NFC’s No. 1 seed with a 12-5 record, so they’ll get the conference’s lone first-round bye. Dallas will host the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round on Sunday.
