There seems to be a growing debate these days concerning which opponent is actually the Cowboys’ biggest rival.

Ask anyone who followed this team in the ’70s or ’80s and your answer will likely be the Redskins. Of course, if the ’90s were your favorite era, than it could be the Eagles, or maybe even the 49ers.

The Giants-Cowboys rivalry has certainly picked up steam and you can even make a case for teams like the Cardinals, Packers and even the Steelers on a Super Bowl level.

OK, so what about the Panthers? Yes, those Carolina Panthers who have been around for 18 seasons, playing the Cowboys just 11 times in the process.

In just 11 meetings we've already got two playoff games, which if you remember those two contests should be reason enough for Cowboys fans to dislike the Panthers. But aside from those contests, the other meetings have been quite entertaining with interesting twists and turns, including Tony Romo’s first-ever start and win back in 2006 in front of a national audience and the Cowboys’ first win at Cowboys Stadium.
