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.

Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler completed a short pass to wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, who had the ball punched out by Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean when the wide receiver turned upfield. Antoine Winfield Jr. scooped the ball up and raced nearly 50 yards for what looked like a touchdown that would have given Tampa Bay a two-score lead.

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.

With a successful extra point attempt from Brandon Aubrey, Denver leads 44-17 with 7:14 in the fourth quarter. The Dallas Cowboys can't catch a break, as Dak Prescott throws his second interception of the game straight into the arms of second-year linebacker Dondrea Tillman, who returns it for 38 yards.

The Broncos are now 6-2 and they remain in first place in the AFC West. They have now beaten the Cowboys in eight consecutive meetings, and they are 3-0 in their throwback uniform since reintroducing the look to their rotation in 2024.
