The Carolina Panthers need to string together some positive performances. Their comeback success against the Miami Dolphins boosted morale at a critical time, but unless they can take this through to this weekend's clash with the Dallas Cowboys, all the hard work will be for nothing.
Dallas has a high-octane offense that is incredibly difficult to stop. Defensively, they are highly vulnerable, which is something the Panthers could potentially exploit if head coach Dave Canales devises an effective game plan.
The onus will be on running back Rico Dowdle to set the tone with Chuba Hubbard out of the lineup.
