Carolina Panthers VS Dallas Cowboys
Thursday November 26, 2015 at 4:30pm
The ultimate return of Tony Romo has brought life into the Dallas Cowboys as it has taken some of the attention off teammate Greg Hardy as they are heading into the defensive ends on Thanksgiving Day reunion with his former teammates.
Whether or not the Cowboys are good enough to overcome Can Newton or even handle the intimidating Carolina Panthers defense strategies is yet to be seen.
As the Cowboys are looking to build their first win in the past two months, they continue their series domination by handing the visiting Panthers their first defeat on Thursday.
After missing a total of seven games due to a broken collarbone, Romo went 18 of 28 for a 227 yard with 2 touchdowns as well as two interceptions in order to help the Cowboys snap a seven game slide with Sunday’s 24-14 win against Miami. Although Tony Romo was not spectacular playing against the underachieving Miami Dolphins, his presence seemed to have revived a team that its season was going downhill fast.
As the challenge will be significantly tougher while they are up against the Carolina Panthers who are 10 and 0. Although the Carolina Panthers have dropped their last nine regular season games against the Dallas Cowboys, which ultimately included four straight games at Dallas, they have not went head to head since 2012.
The Carolina Panthers possess a frightening defense even without Hardy, who blossomed into one of the NFL’s top pass rushers while spending his first five game seasons in Carolina. Hardy was placed on the Commissioner’s exempt list due to an arrest for domestic violence charges and he only played one game last season while he was with the Carolina Panthers, who ultimately opted not to re-sign his contract. After this Hardy made a 1 year deal with the Dallas Cowboys in March.
The Carolina Panthers will be without their backup defensive end Wes Horton, who was ultimately suspended for 4 games for the violation of NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.
