Head coach Brian Schottenheimer speaks with media on Wednesday before practice to discuss updates on players coming back from injury, what George Pickens has done for the team, what he expects out of the Commanders, and more. Cowboys Talkin' Cowboys: Share the Wealth Kyle Youmans, Patrik Walker, Isaiah Stanback, and Josh Rodriguez discuss how the Cowboys' offense can spread targets and find rhythm in both the passing and run game, with the possible return of CeeDee Lamb.

Despite a nearly flawless passing performance from Dak Prescott and a dominant outing from George Pickens, Dallas abandoned what was working and stubbornly tried to force the run in a 30-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Prescott was nearly perfect - 25 of 34 for 261 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions - finishing with a 124.8 passer rating. His chemistry with Pickens was elite: 9 receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown, including plays of 31, 34, and 45 yards that ripped through Carolina's secondary.

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.
