Surtain won NFL Defensive Player of the Year last season. He has been one of the best cover corners in the NFL since the Broncos took him with the ninth pick of the 2021 NFL Draft. Sunday's matchup was a big one for him and the Broncos' secondary, against prolific Cowboys receivers Pickens and CeeDee Lamb.

The Denver Broncos have won their fifth game in a row to move 6-2 for the season, beating the Dallas Cowboys 44-24. Four passing touchdowns for quarterback Bo Nix and a hat-trick for running back RJ Harvey inspired the Broncos to a 20-point win that included six touchdowns for the hosts.

Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys are rumored to be willing participants ahead of the NFL’s Nov. 4th trade deadline.

Turner, 23, originally joined the Broncos following April's NFL draft, participating in the offseason workout program, training camp, and the preseason. He was waived at final cuts in August and re-signed to the practice squad.

Hall became the first running back since 2000 to throw a go-ahead TD in the final two minutes of a game. The last time it happened also came with the Jets when Curtis Martin threw a go-ahead TD back in 2000.

Broncos LB Justin Strnad received a $15,486 fine. Riley Moss also received an unrelated fine for a separate offense.

Expert recap and game analysis of the Denver Broncos vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL game from October 26, 2025 on ESPN.

Sunday was probably Moss’ most impressive step yet, given the context. NFL Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II, the Broncos’ CB1, made a stellar play to bat away a potential TD catch on Dallas’ first drive. Only he landed awkwardly on the turf during his descent.
