Cowboys Lose To Broncos
On October 26, 2025, the Denver Broncos secured a commanding 44-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at Empower Field at Mile High, marking their fifth consecutive win and extending their season record to 6-2. The Broncos showcased a team effort highlighted by impressive performances from several rookies, while the Cowboys struggled to find their footing offensively and defensively.
Denver’s quarterback Bo Nix was a central figure in the game, completing 19 of 29 passes for 247 yards and throwing four touchdown passes. The Broncos’ running back R.J. Harvey was particularly impactful, scoring three rushing touchdowns, including a notable 40-yard rush early in the first quarter. Wide receiver Pat Bryant caught his first NFL touchdown pass, one of Nix’s scoring throws, and rookie Jahdae Barron contributed defensively, securing his first interception in the NFL by picking off Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott.
The Broncos scored 27 points in the first half to take a solid lead, with the scoreboard reading 27-10 at halftime. They maintained control of the game throughout, supported by strong play from their rookies and a powerful rushing attack helped by J.K. Dobbins who ran for 111 yards on 15 carries. Dallas managed to get two touchdowns from their running back Javonte Williams, a former Bronco, but their offense faltered, with Dak Prescott throwing two interceptions and failing to score a touchdown before being replaced by backup Joe Milton late in the game.
An injury to Broncos star cornerback Pat Surtain II just before halftime was a moment of concern for Denver, but the team remained undeterred and completed their ninth straight home win. The Broncos’ defense and home-field advantage, amplified by Mile High altitude, were decisive factors in the outcome, as they stifled the Cowboys’ offense for much of the game.
This victory continued a long-standing dominance by the Broncos over the Cowboys, as Dallas has not beaten Denver since 1995, extending the losing streak to eight games. The Broncos’ current winning streak at home now stands at nine games, reinforcing their position as one of the league’s stronger squads this season, while Dallas falls to 3-4-1, searching for answers to regain their earlier season form.
