"Despite the offense's continued success, at this point the Dallas defense seemingly had no solutions for stopping the Panthers when they had the ball. As the clock ticked over into the fourth quarter, Dowdle continued to pound away at their forces, rushing five times for 37 yards. The scoring honors, though, would go to McMillan, who got his second touchdown to provide Carolina with another lead."
"It looked like the Cowboys actually did when a Carolina pass on third-and-7 at its own 17-yard line fell incomplete, but a pass interference penalty on Kaiir Elam moved the chains and the possession continued. And later in the series, another Young attempt was no good on third-and-4 at the Dallas 40-yard line, but the Panthers converted the fourth down try to keep the drive alive as the clock hit the two-minute warning."
"Meaning, the defense desperately needed another stop. They couldn't get it. When Carolina then picked up a first down at the Dallas 12-yard line with 1:01 remaining, and the Cowboys out of timeouts, Young simply kneeled the ball twice to run the time down to three seconds. Ryan Fitzgerald then kicked the 33-yard field goal as the clock hit zeroes to capture the 30-27 win."
Carolina seized control late in the fourth quarter as Dowdle and McMillan drove the offense into the lead. Dallas responded with a Prescott-to-Pickens 45-yard play and an Aubrey 28-yard field goal to tie the game. The Cowboys forced a rare three-and-out but failed to capitalize as their offense punted. Carolina then extended a key drive after a Kaiir Elam pass interference call and a fourth-down conversion kept the possession alive. With 1:01 left and Dallas out of timeouts, Young ran down the clock and Fitzgerald converted a 33-yard field goal to win 30-27.
