"How many of us can say that we're disappointed, but not surprised? Against a Carolina Panthers team that was also without two of their starting offensive linemen, the Dallas Cowboys' defense provided little to no resistance and got steamrolled. Although the defense recorded a turnover, they didn't do much else to stop the Panthers. It's a shame, too, because Dak Prescott was once again terrific from the pocket and George Pickens did all he could to elevate the passing attack practically singlehandedly."
"Rico Dowdle talked big and backed it up Earlier this week, when talking to reporters, Panthers running back Rico Dowdle issued a warning to the Cowboys about knowing the type of runner he is and how they should "buckle up" for playing against their former teammate. I guess Dallas didn't get the message. Dowdle embarrassed his former team and accounted for 239 yards from scrimmage."
"Dowdle ran for 6.1 yards per attempt Sunday, with only his longest rush going for 15 yards. This means that Dowdle was plowing over the Cowboys on nearly every carry and keeping Carolina ahead of the chains. Yes, Dallas has injuries at linebacker, but that is no excuse. Allowing somebody to issue a statement like Dowdle did to the media and then being able to add the exclamation point on the field should have everyone associated with that defense,"
Dallas Cowboys' defense was overrun by the Carolina Panthers despite Panthers also missing two starting offensive linemen. Carolina's Rico Dowdle rushed and produced 239 yards from scrimmage while averaging 6.1 yards per carry, consistently moving the chains. Dak Prescott completed an efficient passing performance with three touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 124.8 passer rating, while George Pickens caught 168 receiving yards and made several highlight plays. The loss drops Dallas to third in the NFC East and raises questions about defensive game planning and personnel, leaving coaching and players under scrutiny.
