Carolina Panthers’ Bryce Young found Jalen Coker for an 83-yard touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — CeeDee Lamb heard about oddsmakers listing the Carolina Panthers as a favorite for the first time in nearly two full years entering Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.
But Lamb and the Cowboys wound up getting the last laugh.
“It was brought up,” Lamb said with a wide smile. “You’re not oblivious to what is being said about your team. … Shoutout to whoever thought the Panthers were going to win, but they got this one wrong.”
Did they ever.
Cooper Rush threw for 214 yards and a career-high three touchdown passes, Dallas forced four Bryce Young turnovers and sacked the second-year quarterback six times as the Cowboys drubbed the Panthers 30-14 for their third win in the past four games.
Lamb battled through shoulder soreness and had nine catches for 116 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown reception and Rico Dowdle ran for a career high 149 yards on 25 carries to become the first undrafted running back to surpass 100 yards rushing in three straight games since Houston’s Arian Foster.
The Cowboys outgained the Panthers 410-235.
Young, who had shown improvement in recent weeks, finished 19 of 28 for 219 yards with a career-long 83-yard touchdown toss to rookie Jalen Coker and also ran for a score. But the second-year quarterback fumbled twice and threw two interceptions to fall to 4-21 as an NFL starter.
