CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -DeShaun Foster and receiver Steve Smith had touchdown runs and the Carolina Panthers led the Dallas Cowboys 14-0 after one quarter Sunday night. The Panthers' offense shook off a slow start, twice taking advantage of excellent field position after Dallas miscues to score the only points of the quarter. Jake Delhomme, who was 0-for-4 during Carolina's first two possessions, completed all four of his passes on the scoring drive, but the most important pass might have been one that wasn |

The Bengals are coming off a big home win, as they ended a two-game losing streak with a 17-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

| (MySportsbook) - Tony Romo, meet Julius Peppers. Expect to get to know him pretty well on Sunday night, when your Dallas Cowboys visit Peppers' Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium. Romo will make the first start of his NFL career against the Panthers, as the fourth-year-pro gets the nod over inconsistent and immobile veteran Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe was benched at halftime of Monday night's eventual 36-22 loss to the Giants, with Romo throwing three interceptions and failing to rally the Cowboys, but al |

Romo will make his first start since the 2002 Division I-AA playoffs Sunday night, when the Cowboys visit the Carolina Panthers. After watching the first 52 games of his NFL career, then coming off the bench in the last two, he's ready to be the main man. ``I've always prepared like I was going to play each week,'' Romo said. ``You know, there's more sense of urgency and, |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams missed practice Thursday, a day after returning to the field following a sprained right ankle.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Carolina Panthers rookie running back DeAngelo Williams practiced Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas. Williams hadn't played or practiced since spraining his right ankle against Cleveland on Oct. 8. ``He looked good,'' coach John Fox said. ``We'll see how feels toward the end of the week.'' Williams' return could give a boost to the Panthers ground game. Carolina ran the ball only 16 times for 60 yards in its 17-14 loss to Cincinnati last Sunda |

| (MySportsbook) - Jake Delhomme's intercepted pass in the opposing end zone with under four minutes to play sealed the Carolina Panthers' fate in Sunday's narrow 17-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. According to head coach John Fox and his players, the game should never have come down to that point in the first place. For the first 30 minutes, Carolina played like the team that virtually all the prognosticators were drooling over during the preseason. The offense moved the ball with precision, while the defen |
