The Denver Broncos faced another challenging game against the Dallas Cowboys. They found themselves trailing again, similar to their previous week’s performance. A critical moment occurred early in the game when Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain suffered a lower leg injury during the Cowboys’ first offensive drive.
Key Moments from the Game
During the first quarter, Pat Surtain was covering Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens when he landed awkwardly. This incident happened during a second-and-goal situation from the one-yard line. Despite visibly struggling with pain, Surtain managed to walk off the field and entered the medical tent.
Cowboys’ Scoring Drive
On this drive, the Cowboys efficiently moved the ball down the field. After an eight-play, 46-yard drive, they were held to a field goal. Key plays included:
- A 29-yard reception by CeeDee Lamb, bringing the ball to the Denver three-yard line.
- Brandon Aubrey successfully kicked a 24-yard field goal.
The Cowboys were in a favorable position after rookie cornerback Trikweze Bridges intercepted Bo Nix. Nix threw the pass behind an open Pat Bryant at the Dallas 40, allowing Bridges to return it for eight yards.
Injury Report
As of now, the Broncos have listed Pat Surtain as questionable to return to the game. His absence could significantly impact the Broncos’ defense moving forward.
With ongoing struggles on both sides of the field, the Broncos will need to rally and adapt quickly in the coming games. Fans will be closely monitoring Surtain’s injury status and the team’s ability to recover from early setbacks as they aim for improvement.
