There wasn’t much anticipated suspense when Dallas played the one-win Carolina Panthers. The game followed a familiar script in the 33-10 blowout win for the Cowboys.
In games against sub-par opponents, the Cowboys get out to a lead and the defense finishes things off in spectacular fashion. That’s exactly how it played out in Week 11. The offense was efficient in putting the team up double digits, and then Dan Quinn’s unit put the game on ice with three sacks and a Pick-6 in the fourth quarter.
It might not have been as easy as the scoreboard read in the end, but the outcome never felt in danger for the Cowboys, despite the Panthers pulling within one score in the third quarter. There is just too much talent on the Cowboys’ sideline, and they got great performances from their best players.
Here are the studs and duds in their sixth win by 20 points or more on the season.
