Denver second-year quarterback Bo Nix threw four touchdown passes, two of them to Troy Franklin as the Broncos bucked off Dallas in Mile High Stadium, 44-24.
The Oregon Heisman finalist riddled the Cowboy defense with 19-29 passing for 247 yards as Denver reached 6-2, alone in first place in the AFC West, a game ahead of Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Nix hit Franklin, his old favorite target in Eugene, for a 25-yard score in the first quarter, jumping out to a 14-3 lead. He found rookie Pat Bryant with a 24-yard strike just before half to lead 27-10 at the break.
