Denver finished with 426 total yards, a 71-yard advantage on the ground, a 63% third-down conversion rate, and four offensive touchdowns from four different players. The Cowboys held the ball for 33 minutes and 32 seconds and still lost by 20, a reflection of a team that generated yards in clusters but gave them back with turnovers and penalties. For the Broncos, it was their ninth straight home win and the eighth consecutive result against Dallas going their way, a run that has now stretched three decades without an answer from the Cowboys side.
