Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers recap: News, highlights, results

On December 16, 2024By Littum

The Dallas Cowboys are playing on a Sunday for the first time since before Thanksgiving, and that will feature them traveling to face off Carolina Panthers. Dallas is coming off a tough loss on Monday night Cincinnati Bengals where it felt like their season almost officially ended.

The Cowboys continue to absorb injury after injury and appear to be a shell of themselves as Christmas approaches. On the other side of things, the Panthers are finding some form of late, with former number one overall pick Bryce Young finally starting to look like the player his franchise traded a king’s ransom to land in the first round.

A year ago, the Cowboys announced that Jimmy Johnson would finally enter the Ring of Honor prior to their game in Carolina. This year has brought no such announcement, just another game this season that many can’t wait to see finally end.

We’ll update this post on a quarterly basis as it all unfolds, and we’ll re-sort it afterwards in chronological order to serve as a complete game recap.
