Cowboys stake claim to legitimacy with 36-28 win over Panthers

The Dallas Cowboys climbed to 3-1 with their 36-28 win over the Carolina Panthers. More than just a win, it was evidence that this Dallas team may be able to do more than just win the NFC East.

After a first half that saw the Cowboys down by a point, Dallas blew things open in the third quarter. Touchdown passes to Amari Cooper, Dalton Schultz, and Cedrick Wilson, a defense that figured out how to stop Sam Darnold on third down, and the regularly scheduled Trevon Diggs interceptions, his fourth and fifth of the year, all combined to put 20 points on the board in the third quarter and drain the drama from things.
