Did you know? Romo is the only QB in National Football League history with multiple wins over teams with 9-0 records or better, according to STATS. That’s Charlotte, North Carolina, Raleigh, state panthers, not city panthers, and they don’t – Dallas, New Orleans, and Atlanta is how they – Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta.

This will be a big game for the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get him back.
The biggest key to the Dallas Cowboys winning this season comes on the shoulders of Tony Romo.
The Cowboys are undefeated this season with the 35-year-old Romo, who showed the poise and confidence that was missing from either Brandon Weeden or Matt Cassel. But I tell you, it’s a team effort.
“He has always been a pro”, quarterback Tony Romo said. Newton has recorded a passer rating above 100 in three straight games, including a 123.3 last week after tossing a career-high five touchdown passes. And not only are the Panthers (10-0) visiting four days after a long-awaited victory, but the Cowboys face December road games against Green Bay and Buffalo. They came out this season, guns blazing.
Josh Sullivan: “When did we become the most unsafe passing team?”. Outside of Gronkowski, Olsen is the best tight end in football. They will be adding their most talented pass rusher into the mix this week in Charles Johnson, with how well they’ve been playing it is kind of frightening to think that they could get stronger on defense. Last Week, Carolina turned the ball over 5 times giving fantasy owners of Cam Newton giddy.
Running Back B: 159 carries, 623 yards and two touchdowns. With Romo in controlling the clock, the defense stayed strong in the fourth quarter against Miami and actually recorded three sacks in the final quarter.
RAMS: Stedman Bailey was in intensive care and in stable condition at a Miami area hospital Wednesday after undergoing a surgery the team said lasted 4-6 hours for a bullet wound to the head. The Panthers don’t “need’ to win this game in the same way the Cowboys do”.
So can the Cowboys beat the Panthers? Yes. They continuously lose important pieces, such as running back DeAngelo Williams and defensive end Greg Hardy, and the team still has no star quality wide receiver. Now he’s a part of the Dallas Cowboys.

But in the two postseason games that have pitted Dallas against Carolina, the Panthers have won both, in 1997 and then again in 2004. The X-factor will be on that matchup and whoever wins that matchup will win this game. The Panthers are No. 1 in takeaways (25), No. 3 in sacks (31), No. 4 in total defense (3322.8) and No. 5 in scoring defense (19.1). And I don’t think Rivera cares other than to fire the team up. And while Hardy is a rare pass-rush talent, the Panthers are doing pretty well without him at the moment, which is why they’re willing say nice things and move along.
