CeeDee Lamb found out that the Carolina Panthers were favored to win for the first time in almost two years before their game against the Dallas Cowboys. However, Lamb and his team ended up winning the game, making him smile wide. You’re aware of the comments being made about your team. Big shoutout to the person who thought the Panthers would win, but they were mistaken.
They sure did! Cooper Rush threw for 214 yards and three touchdown passes, the most in his career. Dallas made Bryce Young turn the ball over four times and sacked him six times. The Cowboys easily beat the Panthers 30-14, winning their third game out of the last four. Lamb fought through shoulder pain and caught nine passes for 116 yards, scoring a 14-yard touchdown.
Rico Dowdle rushed for a career-best 149 yards on 25 carries, becoming the first undrafted running back to run for over 100 yards in three straight games since Houston’s Arian Foster. Dallas had more yards than the Panthers, with 410 yards compared to 235 for Carolina.
Young, who had been getting better lately, completed 19 out of 28 passes for 219 yards. He threw an 83-yard touchdown to rookie Jalen Coker and also scored a rushing touchdown.
However, the second-year quarterback lost the ball twice and threw two interceptions, bringing his record as a starting quarterback to 4-21. Despite losing cornerback Trevon Diggs to a season-ending knee injury and coming off a tough loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, the Cowboys played well on defense. They held the Panthers to just 1 yard in the third quarter. “This shows that we won’t give up,” said edge rusher Micah Parsons, who got two sacks. While I’m on this team and we trust each other, we are supporting one another. The numbers may say one thing, but there’s something amazing about fighting together.
Parsons mentioned the strategy was to stop Chuba Hubbard, and the Cowboys successfully did that by limiting Carolina’s top rusher to only 32 yards on 10 carries. Panthers Coach Dave Canales admitted that having to play catch-up and throw the ball played right into the Cowboys’ plan, forcing them to play a style of football they weren’t comfortable with.
