The Dallas Cowboys secured a 30-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers, despite both teams being out of playoff contention. This game was notable not just for the win, but for the continued prominence of the Cowboys as 'America's Team' as they drew significant national attention, surpassing other matchups.

CeeDee Lamb made history by becoming the first Cowboy to achieve 1,000 receiving yards in four of his first five seasons, while Brandon Aubrey set a franchise record for field goals over 50 yards in a season. Rico Dowdle also shone with 149 rushing yards.

Head coach Mike McCarthy surpassed Bill Parcells in career wins, raising questions about his future with the team as he seeks a contract extension from owner Jerry Jones.
