Week 9 – 11/7: @ Cowboys – 12:00 CT on FOX

With Dak Prescott coming back from injury, this can be the biggest test for the Broncos defense this year.

The Cowboys’ offensive weapons are no joke, consisting CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Ezekiel Elliott, and many more. The secondary of Denver will get pushed to the test.

Dallas has tried to make some improvements on the defensive side of the ball as they drafted two stud linebackers in Micah Parsons and Jabril Cox. This game can very look like the game they had in 2013 when the Broncos defeated the Cowboys 51-48. It probably won’t get to that extent, but a high-scoring game can be in play for this game.

Denver’s offense will need to be in sync for this game as the Broncos will need to put up points to stay in this battle.

It is always nice playing “America’s Team” because the Broncos have won their last six versus the Cowboys. They will try to make it seven straight on November 7th.
