The Panthers are a 3-point underdog in this week's contest, likely leading to a passing game script.The leading projections forecast the Carolina Panthers to be the 4th-most pass-focused team in football near the end zone (in a neutral context) at the present time with a 60.6% red zone pass rate.The 7th-most plays in the league have been run by the Panthers this year (a colossal 59.8 per game on average).The Cowboys defense has been a prominent pass funnel this year, leading opposing offenses to attempt the 6th-most passes in football (40.2 per game) this year.While Rico Dowdle has accounted for 0.0% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the projections expect him to be a more important option in Carolina's passing attack near the end zone in this week's contest at 13.8%.
