AI RECAPThe Dallas Cowboys cruised to a dominant 51-24 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 4 of the 2028 season, solidifying their position as one of the top teams in the league. Dallas showcased their offensive prowess, with the stakes high for both teams as they vie for playoff positioning early in the season.
Quarterback Cam Ward had a stellar performance, throwing for 410 yards and three touchdowns, while wide receiver Tory Horton was a standout target, racking up an impressive 235 receiving yards. The Cowboys’ offense was relentless, finding success through the air and keeping the Panthers' defense on their heels throughout the game.

Braden Fiske also added pressure with a sack, further stifling the Panthers' attempts to mount a comeback.
