Chris Simms and Mike Florio look ahead to the intriguing Wild Card matchup between the 49ers and Cowboys, as Kyle Shanahan pits the San Francisco offense against familiar foe Dan Quinn and the Dallas defense.

The 49ers had no problem with the Dallas defense on their first drive. They needed only seven plays and 4:06 to go 75 yards for an opening touchdown.

San Francisco faced no third downs.

Elijah Mitchell ran for a 4-yard touchdown to cap the drive, and Robbie Gould’s PAT handed the 49ers an early 7-0 lead.

Jimmy Garoppolo went 3-for-3 for 43 yards.

All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel had one catch for 15 yards and two runs for 10 yards.

Travis Benjamin caught a 17-yard pass.

The 49ers easy trip down the field has quieted the crowd at AT&T Stadium.
