Cowboys Seek First Win Over Broncos in 30 Years on Sunday

Dallas, TX — The Dallas Cowboys aim to break a lengthy winless streak against the Denver Broncos this coming Sunday, October 26, 2025. After more than 30 years, including seven consecutive losses since their last victory in 1995, the Cowboys are looking to turn the tide at Empower Field.

The Cowboys’ last win over the Broncos was on September 10, 1995, when running back Emmitt Smith led the team to a 31-21 victory at Texas Stadium. Since then, the Broncos have firmly held the advantage, winning each matchup, including a close 51-48 game in 2013.

This season, the Cowboys enter Week 8 with a record of 3-3-1, while the Broncos lead at 5-2. The betting odds favor Denver by 3.5 points, reflecting their strong home performance, having won their last eight games there.

In an interview, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott emphasized the importance of focusing on the present rather than historical losses. “This is a new team. History doesn’t matter to us. We need to play our game,” he stated, noting that a successful performance is critical this weekend.

The current Cowboys roster features standout players such as Prescott, who aims to capitalize on his chemistry with wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Tight end Jay Ferguson has also made history, becoming the only tight end with at least 50 receptions and six touchdowns in the first seven games of a season.

Despite their offensive success, the Cowboys defense struggles, ranking last in the league overall in multiple categories. Fans hope for a turnaround following last week’s impressive win against the Washington Commanders, where they won 44-22.

On the flip side, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been a crucial player, noted for his fourth-quarter performances this season. He leads a resilient offense that recently pulled off a stunning comeback against the New York Giants, turning a 19-0 deficit into a remarkable 33-32 win.

As the Cowboys prepare for this pivotal game, avoiding the mistakes of past seasons will be essential. They have a unique chance to not only improve their record but also end a frustrating drought against the Broncos. The match kicks off at 3:25 p.m. local time and will be broadcasted on CBS.
