Dallas Cowboys Look To Finally Beat the Denver Broncos

If you think Prescott isn’t having nightmares about the color orange this week, you’re kidding yourself. He’s 0-2 against the Broncos in his career, and those losses weren’t just losses; they were ugly, soul-crushing defeats. He even called the 2017 shellacking (a 42-17 drubbing) “one of the uglier games of my career.” You remember that one, right? The game where Ezekiel Elliott looked like he was jogging through molasses on an interception return? Brutal.

The Cowboys as a franchise haven’t fared much better. They’re on a seven-game losing streak against Denver, a skid so long it’s tied for the second-worst in team history. A loss on Sunday would tie the franchise’s most pathetic losing streak ever. Think about that. The last time Dallas beat the Broncos was in 1995. Bill Clinton was in office. It’s been a minute.

Who’s America’s Team, Anyway?

To add a little spice to the mix, Broncos Defensive Lineman John Franklin-Myers decided to poke the bear this week, cheekily declaring, “You ask me, the Broncos are America’s team.” It’s a playful jab, sure, but you know it gets under the skin of every Cowboys fan from Frisco to Fort Worth. While Franklin-Myers is cracking jokes, his play is anything but. He’s part of a fearsome Denver pass rush that leads the league with 34 sacks. They’ll be looking to make Prescott’s day a living hell.

Key Matchup To Watch

This whole game might come down to one guy: Javonte Williams. The Cowboys running back is having a monster season, and now he gets to face the very team that drafted him and then let him walk. You don’t think he’s got this game circled in bright red ink? Williams is currently second in the NFL in rushing yards. He’ll be running with a purpose against a tough Denver run defense. If he can get going, it takes a ton of pressure off Prescott and opens up the entire playbook.

So, can the Cowboys finally exorcise their Denver demons? Or will they add another embarrassing chapter to their history against the Broncos? One thing’s for sure: with pride, playoff implications, and a whole lot of bad blood on the line, this is going to be one heck of a showdown.
