The Carolina Panthers must have loved last week’s win so much that they decided to do it again, this time against the Dallas Cowboys at home.
The Panthers improved to 3-3 after a field goal in a 30-27 win over the Cowboys, who are now 2-3-1 on the season.
It was a back-and-forth offensive game at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday morning, but the Panthers got the three-and-out they needed in the fourth quarter to set up the victory.

There was plenty of time on the clock for Carolina, but they managed to use the final 6:01 to deny the Cowboys a chance to retaliate at the end. Bryce Young and the Panthers’ offense started at their own 14-yard line and continued for 15 plays, converting on several key downs, including a fourth-and-4 at the Dallas 40-yard line to ultimately set up a 33-yard field goal for Ryan Fitzgerald.
As the clock struck zero, Fitzgerald was money and the Panthers were celebrating once again after posting back-to-back wins.

While this practice has been exciting, Young has already been able to help rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan reach a milestone, getting his first career touchdown. McMillan hauled in a 19-yard strike from Young to finally get into the end zone after not doing so in the previous five weeks.
But McMillan didn’t settle for just one play in this game. Early in the fourth quarter, a struggling Young found it for his second score to give Carolina a 27-24 lead. Young’s third touchdown pass went to Rico Dowdle, who completed a true revenge game against his former Cowboys team on a 36-yard catch-and-run to start the second half.

While Young had a solid day with 199 passing yards and three touchdowns, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott once again played brilliantly to help his team put themselves in position for a victory.
It’s been a roller coaster ride for Cowboys fans this year, but one thing that has remained steady is the offense. Prescott threw for 261 yards with three touchdowns, including one to George Pickens, who led the game with 168 yards on nine receptions. Prescott also found tight end Jake Ferguson (3 catches, 33 yards) as well as fullback Hunter Luepke for his first career touchdown.
The Cowboys, however, were unable to complete this triple drive, as two short passes to running back Javonta Williams were muffled by the Panthers defense to force an early punt.

Building on this winning streak, the Panthers will hit the road to try to continue against the New York Jets next week. Meanwhile, the Cowboys will have a tough divisional clash with the Washington Commanders when they return to Dallas.
