Charlotte, NC – In an electrifying showdown at the Panthers’ home turf, the Dallas Cowboys emerged victorious with a 38-24 win over the Carolina Panthers. This victory marks a significant turnaround for the Cowboys, who, with a record of 4-6, have now achieved their first two-game winning streak of the season. The Panthers, on the other hand, continue to struggle, losing three of their last four games since their bye week in Week 7.

Dominant Offense Leads the Charge

The Cowboys’ offense was in full swing, racking up a total of 491 yards compared to the Panthers’ 279. Quarterback Dak Prescott delivered an exceptional performance, completing 15 of 21 passes for 191 yards, throwing four touchdowns, and achieving a quarterback rating of 99.5, despite two interceptions. His connection with receiver CeeDee Lamb was particularly noteworthy, as Lamb caught four passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns, notably contributing to the scoreboard in the fourth quarter with a 12-yard and a 38-yard touchdown reception from Prescott.


The ground game also contributed significantly, with Tony Pollard rushing for 122 yards on 19 carries. This balanced attack kept the Panthers’ defense on their heels throughout the game.

Defensive Prowess

The Cowboys’ defense played a crucial role in this victory, registering four sacks and one interception. Micah Parsons led the defensive effort with two sacks, showcasing his versatility and relentless pressure. The interception by Trevon Diggs was a key moment, halting a potential scoring drive by the Panthers. Additionally, the Panthers managed to make their presence felt with Jeremy Chinn returning an interception for 39 yards, demonstrating their defensive capabilities despite the loss.

Panthers’ Struggles Continue

The Panthers, despite a valiant effort, couldn’t match the intensity brought by the Cowboys. Their offense struggled to find consistency, particularly in converting third downs, with only a 33.3% success rate. The defense managed three sacks but couldn’t contain the Cowboys’ dynamic offense. In the fourth quarter, the Panthers showed a spark of resistance with Miles Sanders achieving two touchdown runs, but it was not enough to turn the game around.
