The Broncos delivered a stunning upset of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, riding a dominant defense and navigating a rash of injuries in a 30-16 win at AT&T Stadium.
A 10-point underdog, the Broncos never trailed as the defense denied the Cowboys on four fourth-down conversions and held the league’s top-ranked offense in check until two garbage-time touchdowns.
The Broncos’ ground game paved the way with a season-high 190 rushing yards, including the first 100-yard game by rookie Javonte Williams as Denver built a 16-0 halftime lead. That laid the base for the Broncos’ first win against a team with a winning record in 2021 and the most impressive triumph of coach Vic Fangio’s three-year tenure.
