"For the first time this season, Dallas' pass rush showed up in a big way last week against the Jets. The Cowboys recorded 32 total pressures and five sacks against New York, with five different defenders recording at least part of a sack. This week, Dallas' defensive front gets another favorable matchup, facing a Panthers' offensive line that has struggled in pass protection."
"Carolina's struggles in pass protection have put plenty of pressure on 24-year-old quarterback Bryce Young. The young signal caller has done a nice job avoiding negative plays, but has still been sacked nine times in four games. Week 1 was an absolute disaster for the Panthers' run defense. In that matchup against the Jaguars, Carolina surrendered 200 rushing yards, allowing Jacksonville's starting running back, Travis Etienne, to average 8.9 yards per attempt."
The Cowboys aim to win back-to-back games after a dominant pass-rush performance that produced 32 pressures and five sacks against the Jets, with five different defenders recording at least part of a sack. The Panthers have struggled in pass protection, posting the sixth-worst Dropback EPA (0.004) and averaging only 2.58 seconds time to throw, contributing to Bryce Young being sacked nine times in four games. Carolina's run defense rebounded after surrendering 200 rushing yards in Week 1, ranking 12th in defensive rush EPA from Week 2 onward and nearly eliminating Miami's rushing attack last week.
