The Dallas Cowboys are sending a strong message on Trey Lance’s role with the team. This weekend, the Cowboys and 49ers will face off in a rematch of last year’s playoff meeting, when San Francisco defeated Dallas for a second straight postseason.
Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer says third-string quarterback Trey Lance has a big job for the huge game against the 49ers this weekend.
The game will also mark the first time that Trey Lance will play against his former team since he was traded before the season. However, he will likely be inactive for the contest.
Despite that, Brian Schottenheimer noted that they will pick the third-year quarterback’s brain for information that he got from being in San Francisco for parts of three years.
“Trey knows a little bit about what they’re doing,” Dallas offensive coordinator Schottenheimer said on Monday, via NBC Sports Bay Area. “The cool thing is, like I said, the [Cowboys] know them well, I know them well from being in Seattle, Trey knows them well.”

This is not a foolproof plan as the seven years Ezekiel Elliott spent with the Cowboys did little to help the Patriots, who couldn’t stop Dallas on defense while finishing with just 253 total yards of offense.
Dallas will largely know what to expect from the Niners at this point as they have seen plenty of them in the postseason.
Brock Purdy is no longer an unknown quantity so it will be interesting on how the defense handles him this time around.
Although the Cowboys and 49ers played twice in the playoffs in the past two years, this will be the first time they meet in the regular season since 2020.
