The 10-0 Panthers travel to Dallas to play a Thanksgiving afternoon game on national television. Is this real life?
This is unfamiliar territory for Panthers fans. Thanksgiving plans across the region are being adjusted to make room for brightly colored Panthers football. While many will be stuffing their faces with turkey and potatoes and other assorted food stuffs, the Panthers will be in the house that Jerry built playing the Dallas Cowboys. As if the Panthers needed extra motivation, many of the opening lines for the game saw the 3-7, last-place-in-the-NFC Cowboys favored over the undefeated Panthers.
