"CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle will have an opportunity to make the most of his "buckle up" message to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium. Starting running back Chuba Hubbard will miss his second straight game with a calf injury, meaning Dowdle will get the start again, this time against his former team with the NFL's 32nd-ranked defense."
"Dowdle rushed for 206 yards, tying Carolina's single-game record, in Sunday's come-from-behind win against the Miami Dolphins. Afterwards, he said the Cowboys (2-2-1) better "buckle up" for him and Carolina's physical run game. He double-downed on that on Wednesday, enjoying that Dallas coach Brian Schottenheimer acknowledged his message. "I know we're gonna have to buckle up," Schottenheimer told reporters in Dallas. "We'll bring our seatbelts, Rico. We'll buckle up. Can't wait to see him though.""
