Broncos vs. Cowboys Week 8 Broadcast Map: Bo Nix and the Denver offense try to capture some of that fourth quarter magic

3 players to watch in Cowboys vs. Broncos

• Quarterback Bo Nix: The second-year signal-caller put on a clinic in the fourth quarter against the New York Giants. It wasn't even the first time this season that Nix saved all his magic for the fourth quarter, leading his team to victory. The team was held scoreless through three quarters before pouring on 33 points in the fourth quarter alone. In the contest against the Cowboys, Nix will need to use some of that magic much earlier in the contest if the team wants to walk out of Denver with the victory. He's done a lot to silence critics with performances against the Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles, and a win over the Cowboys will continue to silence those who don't think Nix is the long-term answer at quarterback for Denver.
• Running back J.K. Dobbins: The Cowboys' run defense is leaving much to be desired, which is why Dobbins is a name to watch out for in the contest. The veteran is having a career year and was the first Bronco to surpass 100 yards on the ground during head coach Sean Payton's tenure with the organization. Look for Denver to establish the run early and often, with Dobbins getting a bulk of the carries. He looks ready to set the league on fire with his play, and he's looking to continue his dominance after having 81 yards against the Giants and only 40 yards against the Jets. The upcoming matchup has a chance to be his best game as a Bronco.
• Cornerback Riley Moss: All the talk has been about how Moss's counterpart in Pat Surtain II has been a lockdown corner through the 2025 season. However, Moss deserves his flowers for what he's been able to accomplish. The dynamic duo didn't allow a single catch in man coverage against the Giants, and on the season, Pro Football Reference says quarterbacks are 19-for-41 with 284 yards and one touchdown while targeting Moss this season. They'll have their hands full with receiver CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, but look for Moss to continue to dominate, alongside Surtain.
