The upcoming matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Carolina Panthers carries significant implications for the Cowboys, who are on the brink of playoff elimination with a 5-8 record after a recent loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Historically, the Cowboys have had success against the Panthers, winning their last two encounters. However, the Panthers are now favored to win, marking a shift in their recent performance.
Key players like Micah Parsons and special teams standouts KaVontae Turpin and Raheem Blackshear will be crucial in determining the outcome of the game.
With Dak Prescott sidelined, Cooper Rush will continue to start, raising questions about when Trey Lance will see the field. The Cowboys' defense has improved in takeaways, which could play a pivotal role in this contest.
