Cowboys vs. 49ers is probably the highlight, as it’s been given the primetime window on CBS on Sunday afternoon.
All of the matchups are intriguing, though. It’ll be cool having a Monday night playoff contest, as well.
Pat Summerall and John Madden gonna call Cowboys-49ers from heaven

Cardinals vs Rams, Jan. 17 at 5:15 p.m. The first playoff game in SoFi Stadium history will also be the first Monday night playoff game in NFL history.

This promises to be the most memorable Cowboys-49ers game since I learned what a “pneumothorax” was (the Tony Romo punctured lung game in 2011) and the most significant since the ‘94-95 NFC Title game. Fun stuff.
