Arizona made history by winning consecutive games against the last five franchises to win the Stanley Cup. The Coyotes have done it with grit, a talented, youthful core and a “Dateline”-loving goalie on the best run of his short career. “The whole building has a different feel right now when you get on a streak at home like this,” Coyotes goalie Connor Ingram said after Monday night's 6-0 home beatdown of Washington.

The Panthers have lost each of their past three home games.

UConn coach Dan Hurley acknowledged “the environment knocked us on our heels.”

The Georgia Bulldogs are already in rarified territory. With three more victories, they'll have every right to call themselves the greatest team in college football history. The top-ranked Bulldogs haven't lost a game in 727 days.

COWBOYS PLAYER TO WATCH: RB Tony Pollard is coming off his fourth game with at least 100 yards from scrimmage after getting 79 rushing and 24 receiving against Washington. The rushing total was his second best, behind Pollard's only 100-yard game in his first season as the lead back following the offseason release of two-time rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott. Pollard has a touchdown each of the past two weeks after getting shut out in eight consecutive games following the opener.

The Dallas Cowboys are cruising through the take-care-of-business part of their schedule. Dallas (7-3) is set to play Washington on Thanksgiving for the 11th time Thursday after a 33-10 win at Carolina that was the Cowboys' second straight 20-plus-point victory over a double-digit underdog. Dallas awaits a rematch with the defending NFC and division champion — the second of five consecutive games after Thanksgiving against teams currently with winning records.

Dak Prescott is sizzling, and the Dallas Cowboys are winning the games they should win while eyeing a playoff run. The Carolina Panthers are heading toward a sixth straight losing season. The NFC foes are heading in opposite directions and will clash on Sunday in what is expected to feel like a home game for the Cowboys (6-3), even though it will be played at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium.

Jake Ferguson needs a receiving touchdown on Sunday for his seventh career touchdown catch, which would tie Jason Witten for the second-most in a Cowboys tight end’s first two seasons.

No quarterback in the NFL has played better or put up better numbers than Dak Prescott over the last month but MVP must wait until Cowboys beat winning teams

Christian McCaffrey was standing on the sideline with several other starters, seemingly done for the day until the San Francisco 49ers started driving late. Suddenly, they had a chance to score again — and a chance to get McCaffrey in the end zone again. Coach Kyle Shanahan decided to put his biggest star back in a lopsided game in hopes McCaffrey would set an NFL record.
