Overview
- Dallas seeks its first back-to-back wins under Brian Schottenheimer after a 37-22 road victory over the Jets, with a chance to move above .500.
- Dak Prescott enters with a 71.3% completion rate for 1,356 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions, and he was not sacked in Week 5 as injured linemen Tyler Guyton and Tyler Smith practiced this week.
- Carolina rallied to beat Miami 27-24 behind Rico Dowdle’s 206 rushing yards, and with Chuba Hubbard’s calf injury, Dowdle is in line for a second straight start.
- The Panthers are tied for last in sacks and have the NFL’s lowest pressure rate, a profile that previews suggest will afford Prescott cleaner pockets.
- Carolina’s line is further depleted with right tackle Taylor Moton ruled out in addition to center Austin Corbett and right guard Robert Hunt, setting up a test against a Dallas front that produced five sacks and 32 pressures against the Jets.
