Cowboys is the best team so far that is capable to continue wiht the standard

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Dak Prescott is sizzling, and the Dallas Cowboys are winning the games they should win while eyeing a playoff run.

The Carolina Panthers are heading toward a sixth straight losing season.

The NFC foes are heading in opposite directions and will clash on Sunday in what is expected to feel like a home game for the Cowboys (6-3), even though it will be played at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium.

Prescott is coming off a 404-yard, four-TD performance against the Giants.

“They are hot on offense,” Panthers coach Frank Reich said. “Dak is extremely effective in the pocket and out of the pocket. Obviously CeeDee Lamb is a big-time playmaker and they are having success running and throwing it.”

Still, there will always be some doubt about the Cowboys until they’re able to beat the league’s top teams, including NFC East rival Philadelphia, which currently leads the division.

and they’re focused on taking care of winnable games against Carolina, Washington and Seattle before their Dec. 10 rematch with the Eagles at home.

“I feel like we’ve had games where we’ve blown teams out that we should blown out,” said Cowboys safety Jayron Kearse. “When it comes down us doing what we say we want to do, you know it’s going to come down to those big games, those San Fran games, those Philly games, Miami, the Bills and those type of games. To where we put together a complete game, and that shows who you are as a team.”

According to Next Gen Stats, Prescott’s 136.1 passer rating against man-to-man coverage is the league’s best, ahead of Mahomes (121.0).

“He’s all football. This guy, he loves everything about it. The training,” Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said. “When you look at this game, Sundays are really for free. What he does Monday through Saturday is so impressive.”
