The Dallas Cowboys headed east to take on the Panthers with the hope of building momentum at the mid-way point of the season. Dallas can continue to build a foundation for a deep playoff run with a win over a Carolina team that is currently circling the drain in the NFC.
And after a 33-10 Dallas win on Sunday? Dak Prescott told a raw truth.
“It was about focusing on where we were and, if you look on paper, a lesser opponent,” Prescott said. “So we had to get going fast and not take them lightly and keep the focus high. And, yeah, we got the job done.”
How did that “job get done”? Follow along for our chronological tour of Dallas’ move to 7-3 …
The Panthers are well on their way to a sixth straight losing season since an 11-5 mark in 2017 under the guidance of Ron Rivera and Cam Newton.
The Cowboys are moving in the opposite direction of the Panthers. Since Week 8, Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott has led the league with 1,082 passing yards and 11 touchdown passes, and is No. 2 in the NFL with a 129.4 rating.
Prescott has registered at least 300 yards passing and three touchdowns in three straight contests, one game shy of matching an NFL record that is shared by some prime company in Peyton Manning, Steve Young and Patrick Mahomes.
Against the Giants in Week 10, Prescott threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns, and Dallas gained 640 total yards on offense.
