The Cowboys head into their Week 6 showdown without a loss in their past two games.
Dallas tied in Week 4 and won in Week 5 to move to 2-2-1 on the season. They'll take on the Panthers, who had a wild comeback win a week ago.
Quarterback Dak Prescott is playing at a top level this season. He's completed 71.3 percent of his passes this year for 1,356 yards, 10 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
Running back Javonte Williams is having a career year on the ground, too. He's rushed for 447 yards and five touchdowns this year.
The big matchup, though, will be on the other side of the ball. Former Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle now plays for the Panthers. He's made a few choice statements about facing his old team this week.
