Today, we're examining the big impact made by the Broncos' 2025 draft class in Week 8's 44-24 win over the Cowboys, and why the remaining opponents on the schedule just got put on notice.

Broncos wide receiver and Pro Bowl returner Marvin Mims Jr. is in the NFL's concussion protocol after absorbing a hit late in Sunday's game.

Beyond that, Singleton has been good for two of his last three games. He’s missed just three tackles in his last five games, and flew around for 11 tackles on Sunday. Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson came into Week 8 leading all NFL tight ends in catches, and didn’t finish with a single reception against the Broncos. Singleton played a role in that.

The Denver Broncos' blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys came at a cost. They lost two All-Pros to injuries Sunday.

With starters Malik Hooker (toe) and Donovan Wilson (elbow/shoulder) out along with the primary backup Juanyeh Thomas (migraines), the Cowboys turned to Markquese Bell and undrafted rookie Alijah Clark. The Broncos took advantage of the inexperience on the back end and found five pass completions of 15 yards or more.

The loss dropped Dallas back under .500 with a 3-4-1 record. They'll return home to take on the well-rested Arizona Cardinals coming off their bye week. QB Kyler Murray has owned AT&T Stadium since his high school days, a narrative challenge eerily reminiscent to the Broncos' three-decade talk that flavored the last week.

Dallas’ high-octane offense struggled to get anything going, while the defense couldn’t find ways to stop Bo Nix and the Broncos’ offense. The Cowboys stumbled 44-24 at Empower Field at Mile High, falling to 3-4-1 on the season.

Sunday in Denver was a litmus test for the Dallas Cowboys. They set out to take on one of the NFL’s better teams in the Broncos, and while they are an AFC team and therefore a loss to them is the most minimal kind of defeat Dallas could ever suffer from a tie-breaking standpoint, the manner in which they lost matters greatly for overall context.
