What to Know
After two games on the road, the Dallas Cowboys are heading back home. They will take on the Denver Broncos at 1 p.m. ET next Sunday at AT&T Stadium. Dallas is out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.
Even if it wasn’t a dominant performance, the Cowboys beat the Minnesota Vikings 20-16 on Sunday. Dallas can attribute much of their success to WR Amari Cooper, who caught eight passes for one TD and 122 yards, and WR Ced Wilson, who caught three passes for one TD and 84 yards. Dallas’ win came on a five-yard TD pass from QB Cooper Rush to Cooper with only 0:55 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, Denver was able to grind out a solid victory over the Washington Football Team on Sunday, winning 17-10. No one had a standout game offensively for Denver, but they got two touchdowns from RB Melvin Gordon. QB Teddy Bridgewater ended up with a passer rating of 154.60.
The Broncos’ defense was a presence, as it got past Washington’s offensive line to sack QB Taylor Heinicke five times for a total loss of 40 yards. The heavy lifting was done by OLB Malik Reed and DE Dre’Mont Jones, who each racked up two sacks.
The wins brought the Cowboys up to 6-1 and Denver to 4-4. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: Dallas comes into the game boasting the most yards per game in the NFL at 454.9. Less enviably, Denver is fifth worst in the league in rushing touchdowns, with only four on the season.
