The ages-old Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers rivalry takes center stage on Sunday night.

Both teams, though, aren't quite up to contender form to this point in the season. The 49ers have been ravaged with injuries throughout the season, the latest blow coming to their wide receiver corps. Brandon Aiyuk will miss the remainder of the season with a brutal knee injury, while Deebo Samuel was hospitalized while dealing with a bout of pneumonia.

The Cowboys have dealt with their fair share of injuries, but their issues go beyond who's not on the field. Head coach Mike McCarthy has drawn the ire of Dallas fans this season, as the team, particularly its defense, hasn't quite played up to expectations. Entering Week 8, the Cowboys are fielding the 31st-ranked scoring defense, putting major heat under both McCarthy and new Dallas defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.

Now, coming off a bye week, fans and analysts alike will witness whether the time off was beneficial for Dallas' playoff push or if the devastatingly injured 49ers can take advantage of a reeling Cowboys squad on national TV.

USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates, highlights, and more for the Week 8 "Sunday Night Football" matchup between the Cowboys and 49ers below.
