"It's easy to forget, but the Cowboys actually started off strong. Trikweze Bridges picked off Bo Nix on the third play of the game, and a deep shot to CeeDee Lamb had the Cowboys in scoring position in no time. Javonte Williams got stopped just short of the endzone, and Patrick Surtain II made a huge play to break up a surefire George Pickens touchdown."
"That set up third and goal from the one, but it didn't last long. Flags flew and a false start was called. Brock Hoffman was the one penalized for it, but the replay appeared to show Tyler Guyton as the offending party. Either way, it backed the Cowboys up five yards and ultimately forced them to settle for a field goal, squandering a golden opportunity early."
The Cowboys began with an early interception by Trikweze Bridges and a quick deep target to CeeDee Lamb that put them near the goal line. Javonte Williams was stopped short and Patrick Surtain II broke up an apparent George Pickens touchdown. A false-start penalty pushed the Cowboys back from third-and-goal, forcing a field goal instead of a touchdown. After Dallas's field goal, Denver gained a critical third down when James Houston lined up in the neutral zone. Denver scored shortly after and added another touchdown to lead 14-3 by halftime. Dak Prescott scrambled on third down but fell short, leaving Dallas without a needed response.
