CHARLOTTE — The Dallas Cowboys found a matchup they like early for a 7-0 lead on the Panthers: CeeDee Lamb against Carolina Panthers safety Jordan Fuller.
On the Cowboys’ 10-play, 77-yard drive, Lamb tied Fuller in notes twice in the slot, including a 14-yard touchdown grab with 9:01 left in the second quarter. He ran a slot fade and dove to adjust to Cooper Rush‘s pass, which was near the front pylon.

Lamb is playing with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder and he kept the drive alive earlier with a 28-yard grab on third-and-3. He ran away from Fuller on a corner route for an over-the-shoulder grab.
Earlier, Lamb became the first Cowboys player with four 1,000-yard receiving seasons in four of his first five seasons. He passed Jarvis Landry (481) for the second-most receptions in a player’s first five seasons in NFL history. Former Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas has the record with 510 catches.
