The Cowboys and Broncos lead the NFL in pressure rate but are vastly different in sacks. What does this mean and what can fans expect going forward?

The Cowboys will head to Denver this week, facing a Broncos team that is looking to establish itself among the AFC’s best.

As far as negatives, Dallas was once again without two starters in their secondary as Trevon Diggs (concussion) and Donovan Wilson (shoulder) were the only players on a lengthy injury report who didn't participate on some level.

It’s the NFL’s best offense against the league’s best defense in Denver. Plus, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will return against the red-hot Bears.

While Denver holds a 9-5 edge in the all-time series, the last time the Cowboys beat the Broncos was September 10, 1995. Yes, you read that correctly. That was a game played at Texas Stadium, won by the Cowboys 31-21, during their run as the league's best franchise. Anthony Miller caught three touchdowns for the Broncos in the losing effort.

The Panthers went back to a backfield split in Week 7 with Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard. However, Dowdle still finished with 79 yards on 17 carries, and he gets a Bills defense Sunday that is giving up a league-worst 5.8 yards per carry. Plus, Dowdle has been one of the most explosive runners I've watched on tape this season. -- Bowen
