The Dallas Cowboys are turning the page from a convincing Week 5 win over the New York Jets, setting sights firmly on the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. This matchup presents a prime opportunity to stack wins and build momentum heading into the heart of the season. On paper, Dallas holds the edge-but as any seasoned fan knows, “should win” games can get tricky fast if the focus isn’t 60 minutes sharp.
So how do the Cowboys make sure this isn’t one of those Sundays that slips away? It comes down to execution in three key areas-each one rooted in what we’ve already seen from this team through five weeks.
1. Feed Javonte Williams and own the ground game
Javonte Williams has quietly become the engine powering the Cowboys’ rushing attack. He’s not just carrying the ball-he’s setting the tone.
When he gets rolling, this offense becomes multidimensional and much harder to contain. That’s the kind of presence Dallas will want to rely on against a Panthers defense allowing just north of 100 rushing yards per game.
This isn’t about flashy 40-yard bursts-this is about four, five, six yards every snap until the defense breaks. If Williams gets that kind of work early and often, it could open up everything else Kellen Moore wants to do.
2. Turn up the heat on Bryce Young
Dallas made life miserable for Justin Fields in Week 5. They brought pressure from everywhere, disrupted rhythm, and forced mistake after mistake. Expect more of that against Carolina.
Bryce Young is still adjusting to the speed and complexity of the NFL game. That’s not a knock-it’s just the usual growing pains for a young QB.
But the Cowboys have the type of defense that thrives on making those learning curves steep. With Micah Parsons and that relentless front seven, look for Dan Quinn to dial up a mix of blitzes and disguised coverages to force hurried throws and capitalize on any inexperience.
The more uncomfortable Dallas can make Young look by mid-second quarter, the better their chances of putting this one to bed early.
3. Don’t let the Panthers hang around
There’s a time for creativity and flair-but this week needs to be about business. Last week was a clear example: the Cowboys didn’t toy with the Jets, they handled their business start to finish. Same mindset applies here.
The Panthers may not be lighting up the scoreboard, but they’ve got enough talent to punish a sloppy effort. If Dallas comes out flat, turns the ball over, or takes its foot off the gas, this could become the kind of frustrating grind that lingers longer than it should.
Simply put: take control early. Don’t give Carolina belief late.
Treat this like a must-win, close-the-deal type of road trip. Professional effort, clean execution, and four quarters of focus-that’s how wins stack up in the NFL.
If Dallas plays to its strengths-lean on the run, tee off on a young quarterback, and never let the underdog breathe-this should be another notch in the win column. But nothing’s automatic in this league.
The Cowboys know the formula. Now it’s about executing it.
