CB DiCaprio Bootle down on the field.

They’re running out of people in the secondary.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Donte Jackson back on the field. Which helps.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Pick-six by DaRon Bland.

Bryce was looking for Thielen, Bland jumped the route, no one between him and the end zone.

Missed the extra point, it’s 30-10.

Cowboys respond quickly with a touchdown, on Tony Pollard’s 21-yard run.

Dallas 24-10 with 13:58 left.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Donte took a friendly-fire shot from Frankie Luvu, and headed straight into the blue tent.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

That was their first 17-play touchdown drive since 2020.

They needed that, for a number of reasons.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Bryce hits Tommy Tremble for the touchdown.

That’s the drive the Panthers have been looking for for a long time.

17 plays, 70 yards, 8:58 elapsed.

Dallas 17-10 with 1:59 left in the third.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

3-of-3 on fourth downs after that Miles Sanders 4th-and-1.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Another fourth down, another Adam Thielen conversion.

As it turns out, the black box may be made of Adam Thielen.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Cowboys flagged for running into Johnny Hekker, so they go for fourth-and-2.

And Bryce converts, finds (guess who) Thielen for the conversion.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

If I told you the Panthers had rushed 15 times for 84 yards in the first half, you’d have probably signed up for that.

Not when they have 107 total yards.

This just in, the Cowboys have impact players in the front seven. They make people look like this.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

And the Cowboys get a touchdown just before the half to make it 17-3.

They’re good enough on offense they don’t need the help, but the Panthers have committed some penalties that certainly made it easier.

Frustrating finish to an overall solid half for Panthers defense.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Fairly pointless penalty there on DeShawn Williams, pushing a guy down from behind when a play’s dead.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Couple of nice Hubbard runs, then a 20-yard shot to TE Sullivan, and then a burst by Sanders.

Panthers in the red zone.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Cowboys punting.

Derrick Brown and Troy Hill making plays on that series.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Defense holds to a field goal. Dallas up 10-0, could have been worse.

Frankie Luvu got a hand on Prescott on that third-down attempt. He’s all over the place today.

Cowboys moving, thanks to a couple of big penalties.

PI on Donte Jackson, horse-collar tackle on Xavier Woods, and it’s first-and-10 at the 12.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Corbett has taken his normal seat between Bozeman and Moton on the bench so guessing that’s a good sign for him.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Xavier Woods is back out for this series, so he’s OK.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

They were checking Corbett’s ankle, but he’s walking off, threw a thumb’s up in the air.

Xavier Woods was just in the blue tent, but now Corbett is heading in there.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Another third down sack.

Austin Corbett down.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Prescott hits his TE for an 18-yard touchdown. The TE in question’s name is Schoonmaker, but I wasn’t confident in my abilities to type it in a hurry without looking it up.

Cowboys 7-0.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Micah Parsons gets around Zavala on third down for a sack. Forces a punt.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Panthers showing some no-huddle early. Couple of quick first downs.

Thielen slant, Hubbard run for conversions.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Panthers force a three-and-out to open the game. Luvu and Burns show up on that series.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Burns with pressure already. They need him today.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 19, 2023

Cowboys call heads, it’s tails.

Panthers defer, will kick off.

65 degrees, 28 percent humidity. Perfect day.
