49ers vs Cowboys live stream: How to watch NFL Week 8 game online, on TV

The top-two NFC playoff seeds from a season ago are barely clinging on entering Week 8.

The San Francisco 49ers have been continuously disrupted by injuries to key personnel on both sides of the ball. With Christian McCaffrey yet to play this season and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave out for the year, the latest star to suffer an injury was wideout Brandon Aiyuk, who is now sidelined for the season (knee).

With San Francisco 3-4 following a disappointing home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, it will again take on a team coming off a bye week.

Coming into Levi's Stadium are the Dallas Cowboys, who at 3-3 are dealing with several issues of their own. The defense has been underwhelming and Dak Prescott, now the league's highest-paid QB, just isn't producing up to the paycheck.

Both teams desperately need a win, but which one will it be as a classic rivalry gets reignited? Here's how you can watch the Week 8 "Sunday Night Football" game online or on TV:
