Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys is the first time the Carolina Panthers open up their season at home since 2013, a home game that resulted in a 7-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Cam Newton will start his eighth season in the NFL with the best group of offensive weapons in his professional career and a new offensive coordinator who can help him improve his completion percentage.
In 13 matchups between the two teams, the Cowboys lead the series 9-4. The Panthers dominated the Cowboys 33-14 the last time they played each other (2015). That game ended Dallas’s five-game winning streak against the Panthers.
