Denver Broncos Extend AFC West Lead with 44-24 Win Over Cowboys

The Denver Broncos secured a commanding 44-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, marking their fifth consecutive win and extending their NFL-leading home winning streak to nine games. Quarterback Bo Nix, a former Oregon standout, threw four touchdown passes, two to Troy Franklin, while rookie running back RJ Harvey scored three touchdowns, including a 40-yard rushing TD on the opening drive. The Broncos' offense was prolific, posting their highest point total in Denver since 2014, supported by strong performances from rookies Pat Bryant and Jahdae Barron, who recorded his first interception. Denver's defense effectively contained Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, limiting him to no touchdowns and two interceptions, and held the Cowboys to a field goal on a critical goal-line stand early in the game. Despite losing star cornerback Pat Surtain II to a shoulder injury, the Broncos maintained control throughout, taking a 27-10 halftime lead and never relinquishing it. This win places Denver at 6-2 atop the AFC West, one game ahead of the Los Angeles Chargers.
