After putting the Cowboys in a hole and emphasizing a stop of the run, the Broncos were able to take advantage of a one-dimensional Dallas offense.
“I feel if I would have made some of those plays on the outside, I probably would have forced them to get in a zone more than their man coverage that they were in the majority of the night”, Prescott said.
“It’s Week 2, but we’re excited about where we’re at and hopefully we can continue to grow”.
After a almost hour long delay, the game was back in action and Dak Prescott made a 3 yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant to tie the game. I give them all the credit.
There will be better days ahead for the Cowboys. “We didn’t play up to our standard, obviously”.
Denver stopped Elliott, who was only able to play Sunday because a court ruling at least temporarily delayed an National Football League issued six-game suspension, for no gain on his first rush attempt.
Siemian tossed four touchdown passes (three in the first half alone) and finished 22-of-32 in passing for 231 yards, one interception and a passer rating of 116.0. While Lawrence did make a few plays, including putting a brilliant head-fake on right tackle Menelik Watson that resulted in a strip-sack, for the most part a make-shift Denver offensive line dominated the day, keeping Trevor Siemian clean and opening up lanes for the hard-running CJ Anderson. But even early in the game, the Broncos put the clamps on Elliott. “It’s frustrating but it’s Week 2”.

Through two games, the Broncos have surrendered 104 yards rushing.
“Never”, the Dallas Cowboys running back said.
Saints defenders caught Brady’s passes twice, but both plays were wiped out by New Orleans penalties.
That left Anthony Brown and rookie Jourdan Lewis, who also missed almost all of training camp due to injury, as the team’s only true cornerbacks. Rookie left tackle Garett Bolles went down on a run play and had to be carted off the field.
The Cowboys pulled the score back somewhat to 35-17 after Jason Witten’s 28-yard TD reception that was set-up this time by a Siemian interception – rookie Jourdan Lewis with the pick – but then Talib’s pick-six late on iced the game.
Miami 19, (at) L.A. Chargers 17: Cody Parkey hit his fourth field goal from 54 yards with 1:05 to play, and the Dolphins rallied in the fourth quarter to spoil the Chargers’ home opener.
