"The Dallas Cowboys failed to achieve a winning record after a disappointing 30-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers. It was a back-and-forth contest that was frustrating thanks to a defense that continued to struggle and an offense that couldn't make up the difference. The opportunities were there, but they just didn't do enough to capitalize on them and came up short in Charlotte. Here are 10 thoughts on this disappointing loss to the Panthers."
"It was another long day for this troubled defense. The Panthers put up 410 yards of offense, averaging 6.4 yards per play. While most of the damage came against the Cowboys' porous run defense, Carolina was able to attack through the air as well. Panthers' quarterback Bryce Young finished a yard shy of 200 yards, but threw for three touchdowns. The Cowboys' defense just couldn't make stops when they needed to."
"Against his former team, Dowdle combined for a ridiculous 239 scrimmage yards with 183 of them coming on the ground. He finished with a career-high 30 carries and now has back-to-back 200-yard scrimmage games. It was an impressive showing for Dowdle, who was constantly churning out runs of seven-plus yards, repeatedly putting his team in favorable down and distances. The Cowboys' run defense looked helpless against the Panthers' rushing attack with Rico leading the charge."

Rico Dowdle rushed for 183 yards and totaled 239 scrimmage yards on a career-high 30 carries, repeatedly breaking long runs. Dallas managed only 31 rushing yards on 19 attempts (1.6 yards per carry), with Javonte Williams limited to 29 yards on 13 carries. Offensive opportunities went uncapitalized, and the team came up short.
