Broncos Rally Back Against Cowboys with Key Plays

Denver, CO – The Denver Broncos received a boost during their game against the Dallas Cowboys after the Cowboys initially took the lead with an opening field goal.

Running back RJ Harvey electrified the crowd with a 40-yard touchdown run, putting the Broncos ahead 7-3. This impressive run marked the longest for the team since Melvin Gordon‘s 47-yard run against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18 of the 2021 season.

Denver’s scoring opportunity came after the Cowboys appeared to have stopped the Broncos on third-and-7. However, an offsides penalty by defensive lineman James Houston gave Denver new life. On the following play, quarterback Bo Nix connected with Troy Franklin for a crucial 26-yard pass.

Just two plays later, Harvey found the end zone, helping the Broncos gain momentum. The home team also welcomed back cornerback Pat Surtain on their next defensive series after he was listed as questionable due to a lower-leg injury. Remarkably, he only missed one play.

The game showcased the resilience of the Broncos and highlighted key moments that shifted the flow in their favor.
