Ten things about the Broncos entering Sunday’s game at Dallas:
1. Had Carolina drafted cornerback Pat Surtain II eighth overall, the Broncos would have faced a decision at No. 9: Quarterback, trade down or maybe take linebacker Micah Parsons? “We really liked (Parsons),” coach Vic Fangio said. “If we didn’t take Pat, he was a guy that was right there for us.”
2. The Cowboys rolled the dice, trading down from No. 10 to 12 with Philadelphia (adding a third-round pick) and still got Parsons, who is tied for the team lead with 42 tackles (11 at Minnesota in Week 8).
