1997 Game 210 (Week 15) Carolina at Dallas

“Prime Time” dominates Prime Time!

Dion “Prime Time” Sanders had a night to remember on Monday Night Football to end week 14 of the NFL season. Neon Dion scored three touchdowns in the Dallas Cowboys’ 31-13 victory over the Carolina Panthers at Texas Stadium.

In the second quarter trailing 10-0, Sanders picked off Panther QB Kerry Collins and raced 21 yards for the Cowboys’ first score of the night cutting the lead to 10-7. Then late in the third quarter, trailing 13-10, Sanders caught a punt and returned that 50 yards for a punt return touchdown giving Dallas the lead 17-13. Finally, Sanders intercepted another Collins’ pass and returned it 59 yards high-stepping his way in the end zone for the game-clinching touchdown.

The Cowboys are now 7-7 on the season and will end the season traveling to Cincinnati and then hosting the NY Giants. The Panthers are 3-11 and will face the Packers at home.
