The Dallas Cowboys will once again have a national audience, despite stumbling to a 4-5 record to start the season. Dallas welcomes the San Francisco 49ers to AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon for a crucial Week 10 showdown on FOX.

Dallas is within striking distance of the NFC East lead, so a win over the 49ers, who are currently favored to win Super Bowl 61, would go a long way in building momentum as the team prepares for a three-game stretch at home that could change the course of their season.

For today's game, the NFL was forced to make a handful of changes to the referee assignments because of the unprecedented FAA shutdown before the weekend, so the Cowboys' officiating crew has some major adjustments.

The good news, or bad news depending on how you view it, is that FOX Sports' top team will still be calling the game as America's Game of the Week.

The announcers and referees can always become hot topics during a game, so it's always nice to be prepared for what you may see throughout the night. Let's take a closer look.

The Cowboys vs. 49ers game was originally set to be officiated by Bill Vinovich's crew, but due to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) calling a nationwide ground stop on Friday, the NFL was forced to make several changes. Hussey's crew now gets the call.

However, Hussey is losing the crew umpire, Duane Heydt, who was assigned to the Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints game earlier in the afternoon because he was within driving distance.
