The Carolina Panthers' defense did the best they could against the Dallas Cowboys' high-octane offense. It wasn't perfect, but it was just enough to give quarterback Bryce Young and running back Rico Dowdle a fighting chance of coming through in the clutch.
They delivered, and the Panthers are back at .500 when hope was fading quickly earlier in the campaign.
Carolina's secondary found life difficult against the Cowboys' passing attack. That wasn't exactly a great surprise, especially when wide receiver George Pickens picked Mike Jackson Sr. to line up against more often than not.
