The Denver Broncos (6-2) put together their first complete game of the season, thrashing the visiting Dallas Cowboys (3-4-1) 44-24. The Broncos remain atop the AFC West, a game ahead of the Los Angeles Chargers.

Expert recap and game analysis of the Denver Broncos vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL game from October 26, 2025 on ESPN.

Zach Ertz dropped the 2nd down pass to force 3rd & 6 at the 16-yard line; Jayden hit Robbie Chosen on a short pass, but the Cowboys defenders closed fast and tackled him short, forcing the 3 & out. Turpin, the return man, was tackled for a short return at his 26-yard line with 4:38 left in the first quarter.

If Dallas can get to the bye with a .500 record, they still have an outside chance of doing something in the second half of the season. Either by trade, or by just getting injured players back, they would have some avenues to improve an awful defense.
