Days after trading the best pass rusher in franchise history to the Los Angeles Rams, the Denver Broncos secured a statement victory over the 6-1 Dallas Cowboys. For most of the contest it didn’t look close as Denver dominated the time of possession and every other meaningful stat. It’s easily the biggest victory of Vic Fangio’s career as Denver’s head coach and breathes new life into any hope that the Broncos can slog their way through the remaining schedule to the postseason.
I’ll fully admit the Broncos performance caught me by surprise.
