Cowboys to face 49ers' red 1994 throwbacks at AT&T Stadium in Week 10

When the Dallas Cowboys host San Francisco on Sunday, the 49ers will be wearing their red 1994 throwback uniforms. According to ESPN's Week 10 uniform roundup, the Cowboys will counter with their standard home set: silver helmets, white jerseys and Cowboys blue pants. ESPN called the pairing a "classic uniform matchup," and it was one of the few old-school looks on a weekend when several teams went with all-black alternates.

This wasn't a last-minute choice. Yahoo Sports reported that San Francisco's full 2026 uniform schedule had already marked the trip to AT&T Stadium as one of three games in the '94 throwbacks. That 1994 team beat Dallas in the NFC Championship Game on its way to a Super Bowl title, so the throwbacks bring back one of the sharper chapters of this rivalry. For Dallas, the white jerseys are the usual home look, and nothing changes on its side of the field.

The uniforms are the only real news here. Neither report mentions a roster or injury change for Dallas, and the game itself will decide more than what either team wears.

What it means for Sunday

The Cowboys are 4-5 after a 27-23 win at Indianapolis, which followed a 33-30 home loss to Arizona. Their results have gone back and forth all season, and the split by venue is clear: Dallas is 3-2 on the road but 1-3 at home. Its only home win came against Washington, while Baltimore, Tampa Bay and Arizona all left Arlington with wins. A fourth home loss would drop the Cowboys to 4-6 with Tennessee and a Thanksgiving visit from Philadelphia still to come this month.

Dallas games have also been high-scoring. The Cowboys have put up 246 points and allowed 236 through nine games, about 27 per game on each side. Five of their nine games have been decided by seven points or fewer.

The board for Sunday's game has San Francisco favored across 12 venues. Novig, one of those venues, lists the 49ers at -194 on the moneyline and Dallas at +190. On the spread, Novig has San Francisco favored by 3.5 at -111, with Dallas +3.5 at +108. The best Dallas spread anywhere is bet365's +4.5 at -117, which gives an extra point at a higher price. Novig's total is 55.5, and BetMGM has the best under at 56 (-110). That total fits how the Cowboys' games have gone so far. The sportsbooks' hold ranges from 3.2% to 5.3% on the moneyline and 2.9% to 5.0% on the spread, so the venues are close on this game.

The outlook improves after Sunday. Dallas is favored at -426 on Novig against Tennessee on Nov. 22, and it is favored at -125 against Philadelphia on Thanksgiving, though only one venue has posted that game so far. The Cowboys won 38-21 in Philadelphia earlier this season. Because Dallas has struggled at home, Sunday's game against the 49ers comes at a key point in its season.
