Denver Broncos Dominate Dallas Cowboys 44-24, Highlighting Dallas Defensive Struggles

The Dallas Cowboys suffered a significant 44-24 defeat to the Denver Broncos, extending their losing streak against Denver since 1995 and highlighting ongoing defensive struggles. The Cowboys' defense allowed 27 first-half points, with Bo Nix leading the Broncos' offense effectively through multiple touchdowns and strong rushing from J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. Quarterback Dak Prescott faced considerable pressure, throwing two interceptions and failing to score a touchdown for the first time this season, compounded by numerous pre-snap penalties and missing key defensive players. Denver's momentum under coach Sean Payton was evident as they dominated both offensively and defensively, with cornerback Patrick Surtain II standing out with multiple tackles. The loss dropped Dallas below .500 with a 3-4-1 record, underscoring their inconsistent performance throughout the season and raising concerns ahead of their upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals. Fans and analysts alike criticized the Cowboys’ defense, which has now allowed over 30 points in four games without a win.
