For anyone who was worried about last week’s game between the Cowboys and Giants being a trap game, consider it practice for this week. As the Cowboys prepare to travel east for a road game with the Panthers, owners of the worst record in football, this is the real trap game.
A year ago, the Panthers were riding things out with an interim head coach after firing Matt Rhule just five games into the season. After an extensive search (that almost ended with Kellen Moore getting the job), the Panthers settled on former Colts head coach Frank Reich, who had been controversially fired during the season as well.
