Rico Dowdle dominated his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, in Week 6. The Carolina Panthers running back carried his form from last week's game and had a strong performance at Bank of America Stadium. The Cowboys did not offer him an extension despite his 235 receptions for 1,079 yards last season, and he had his revenge on Sunday.

The running back issued a warning for his former team ahead of the game and his response was in context to that.

"Oh for sure," Dowdle said. "They got to buckle up. I think they know for sure. I been there five years, they didn't keep me there for five years for no reason. I look forward to playing those guys next week and we'll get to it ... when we get there."

Dowdle's 36-yard catch-and-run gave Carolina a 20-17 lead, helping the team secure the 30-27 victory.

There was no stopping Dowdle on Sunday as he ripped through Dallas' defense. He spearheaded the offense in Chuba Hubbard's absence and was a crucial weapon for Bryce Young.

Dowdle's first rushing touchdown for Carolina came in the Week 3 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. It was the Panthers' first win of the season. After the team dropped to 1-3, the running back has played a key role in its return to winning ways.

The Panthers will be on the road in Week 7 and will face the winless New York Jets. Dowdle and the Panthers will look to carry the momentum and make it three consecutive victories.
