The Broncos’ Wild Ride Rolls On
Sean Payton’s Broncos have been riding higher than a Colorado dispensary in harvest season, sitting at 5-2 for the first time since 2016. They’ve got altitude, attitude, and just enough chaos to make every game feel like a heart attack in slow motion.
Last week, they pulled off a comeback so ridiculous it made ESPN researchers break out the dusty record books, erasing a 19-0 fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Giants 33-32. For context, that’s the NFL equivalent of spilling your beer, cleaning it up, and finding another full pint under the couch.
Bo Nix is playing like a quarterback with selective memory, he forgets the first three quarters ever happened, then morphs into John Elway in crunch time. The offense sputters early, explodes late, and the fans love it… or at least tolerate it with heavy medication.
Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi had the quote of the week: “We just need to start doing some of that fourth-quarter stuff a little earlier.” Yes, Joe, maybe before the stadium ushers start packing up the nachos.
The Broncos’ defense continues to hold the fort, while running backs J.K. Dobbins and rookie R.J. Harvey have been grinding out tough yards. Denver’s 8-game home winning streak is the longest in the NFL and they’ll need that altitude edge to slow down a familiar face.
Cowboys Bring the Williams Revenge Tour
Ah, Javonte Williams. The Broncos let him go, and now he’s rolling into town like an ex who suddenly got in shape and bought a Lamborghini. The former Denver back has been reborn in Dallas, already tying his career-high with seven total touchdowns and ranking second in the NFL in rushing yards.
Williams fits perfectly in Brian Schottenheimer’s offense, heavy running, heavier sarcasm. “He liked to run the ball and be physical,” Williams said. “That’s right up my alley.” Translation: expect him to try to run directly through every orange jersey in sight.
Dak Prescott, meanwhile, is quietly putting together a heater, no picks in four games, 12 touchdowns, and all the confidence of a man who just found his old 2016 self. With CeeDee Lamb torching defenses and kicker Brandon Aubrey turning altitude into cheat codes, the Cowboys’ offense is humming.
Final Score Prediction
This one’s got everything, revenge narratives, altitude jokes, and Sean Payton’s caffeine-fueled sideline meltdowns. Expect fireworks, big plays, and a little chaos. But when the smoke clears, Denver’s altitude and momentum should outlast Dallas’ comeback dreams.
Final Score: Broncos 30, Cowboys 27
Lean: Dallas +3.5
Total: Over 51.5
