Broncos Batter Cowboys 44-24 as Bo Nix Throws Four TDs in Fifth Straight Win

Denver’s rout spotlights Dallas’ defensive injuries, prompting trade-deadline scrutiny.

Overview

  • Denver improved to 6-2 and pushed its NFL-longest home winning streak to nine games with a comprehensive offensive display.
  • Bo Nix went 19-for-29 for 247 yards with four touchdown passes and one interception, directing scoring drives that put the game out of reach by the fourth quarter.
  • Dak Prescott finished 19-for-31 for 188 yards with two interceptions before being replaced late, and Joe Milton III threw a touchdown to Jalen Tolbert in garbage time.
  • A depleted Dallas secondary missing Malik Hooker, Donovan Wilson and Juanyeh Thomas allowed 426 yards and 179 rushing yards while failing to record a sack on Nix; safety Alijah Clark left with a rib injury.
  • Rookie R.J. Harvey scored multiple touchdowns for Denver, though outlets differ on the exact total, as Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Jahdae Barron also delivered key plays.
  • Owner/GM Jerry Jones said the Cowboys must be better, will examine trade options before the deadline, and expressed doubt that a single addition would fix the defense.
