Any Given Sunday: Broncos Over Cowboys

by Rivers McCown

The Dallas Cowboys are currently the greatest running offense in the NFL. A star-studded unit led by Ezekiel Elliott, Travis Frederick, Zack Martin, and Tyron Smith. They're buffered even further by Dak Prescott's scrambling ability. On paper, Denver's ability to stop the run was the weaker portion of their all-world defense. They did well to contain Melvin Gordon on Monday Night Football, but were just 21st in run defense DVOA last year. With those facts in hand, it wasn't crazy to see the Cowboys winning a game that they could control on the ground.
