The Dallas Cowboys notched their third win in four weeks by trouncing the Carolina Panthers, 30-14.

Dallas' offense enjoyed a big afternoon, averaging 6.1 yards per play. In particular, the Cowboys continued their success on the ground, amassing 207 net rushing yards and seven explosive runs. Cooper Rush complemented that effort with three passing touchdowns and a 70.3 PFF passing grade, pending final review.

Meanwhile, Bryce Young‘s late-season turnaround hit a bump in the road. The second-year quarterback committed three turnover-worthy plays and secured a measly 48.5 passing grade on first review.
