The Dallas Cowboys are set to face the San Francisco 49ers in Wild Card weekend, and head coach Mike McCarthy doesn't want his team to experience what the Los Angeles Rams encountered in Week 18.

San Francisco was supposed to have a home-field disadvantage as they visited the SoFi Stadium to play the Rams on Sunday. However, it didn't look like they were the visitors at all after a sea of 49ers red enveloped the arena.

A contingent of 49ers fans went to LA to cheer for the team and distract their opponents, and it worked wonders for Kyle Shanahan and Co. who escaped with a 27-24 OT victory. After the contest, Rams QB Matthew Stafford even admitted they had a hard time communicating in the second half because of the crowd jeering at them.

With that said, as they prepare to take on the San Francisco franchise at home, McCarthy has only one demand for the home fans: show up and don't let the visiting fans dominate them.

The Cowboys have one of the biggest fanbases in the NFL, so it is unlikely for the home crowd to be swallowed by what is expected to be another huge wave of 49ers fans in attendance. Still, given the history between both teams, things could get loud come the weekend.

As Mike McCarthy said, the home fans need to show up and be as loud as they can as the Cowboys attempt to make a big run to the Super Bowl.
