Rivera sees surging Cowboys facing his unbeaten Panthers

Dallas just snapped a seven-game losing streak that covered all the games Romo missed with a broken collarbone, and four of the games All-Pro receiver Dez Bryant was out with a fractured foot. According to STATS, he's the only quarterback in NFL history with multiple wins against teams that were 9-0 or better — Indianapolis (9-0) in his fourth career start in 2006 and New Orleans (13-0) three years later. While Newton and the Panthers are trying to "manage our success," as Rivera put it, and in prime position for a first-round bye in the playoffs, Romo does at least share one thing with Carolina's dual-threat star. The Panthers have an NFL-best 14-game winning streak in the regular season, and are coming off a 44-16 rout of Washington, Dallas' division rival. According to pregame.com, an undefeated team has never been an underdog against a team with a losing record in Week 10 or later. Newton is coming off one of his best games as a passer, throwing for a career-high five TDs against Redskins. Behind Newton, the high-powered Panthers have scored at least 27 points in 10 straight games this season and are third in the league in scoring, averaging 29.9 points per game. Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson makes his return after missing seven games with a hamstring injury.
