The Carolina defense returned two of Tony Romo’s three first-half interceptions for touchdowns, and the Panthers ran their winning streak to 15 regular-season games with a 33-14 victory over the host Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.
In a further setback for the Cowboys (3-8), quarterback Tony Romo left the game after injuring his left collarbone; a broken left collarbone sidelined him for seven games this season, all of which Dallas lost.
For Carolina (11-0), linebacker Luke Kuechly intercepted two straight passes by Romo, returning the first 32 yards for a touchdown, and safety Kurt Coleman picked off Romo’s second pass of the game and took it back 36 yards for a score.
