How in the world were the Panthers favored over the Cowboys?
Dallas dominated from start to finish, blowing out Carolina 30-14 as Bryce Young turned the ball over four times. The Cowboys improve to 6-8 with a third win in four games, while the Panthers fall to 3-11.
The Cowboys outgained the Panthers 410 to 235 as Cooper Rush threw for three touchdowns, CeeDee Lamb had 116 receiving yards and a touchdown and Rico Dowdle ran for 149 yards. Rush was 18-of-29 for 214 yards, though he lost a fumble late in the first half that resulted in an 83-yard touchdown reception by Jalen Coker on the next play.
Young, though, took six sacks, including two by Micah Parsons and couldn’t protect the football. Marist Liufau and Osa Odighizuwa forced fumbles, and Marshawn Kneeland and Chauncey Golston recovered them. Eric Kendricks and Israel Mukamu had interceptions of Young.
Young was 19-of-28 for 219 yards with the touchdown throw to Coker, who caught four for 110 yards.
