Cowboys 19, Panthers 14: Dan Bailey gave Dallas the lead with a 28-yard kick with 3:25 left, and Cam Newton was unable to rally host Carolina.

The Cowboys (3-3) have won nine straight over the Panthers, but that streak was in jeopardy when Mike Tolbert's 2-yard touchdown run put Carolina ahead 14-13 with 11:38 left.

Tony Romo led the Cowboys back down the field, setting the stage for Bailey's go-ahead field goal. Dallas' Morris Claiborne broke up a fourth-down pass to get the ball back, and Bailey - who missed a potential game-winning field goal last week - tacked on another three points as the Cowboys held on to snap their two-game losing streak.

Romo was 24-of-34 for 227 yards and a touchdown.

Newton, who passed for 233 yards with a touchdown and an interception and had a game-high 64 rushing yards on six carries, drove the Panthers (1-5) to their own 46 in the final minute but was sacked on third down, thwarting any chance for a comeback.
