As the Dallas Cowboys prepare to face one of the NFL’s toughest defenses, quarterback Dak Prescott made it clear that Sunday’s clash in Denver won’t be about style points — it’ll be about grit.
“We’ve gotta go into this game looking to win dirty,” Prescott said this week. “This is gonna be a dogfight.”
The Cowboys’ high-powered offense, one of the league’s most explosive units, will meet the brick wall that is the Denver Broncos defense — a top-tier group ranked among the league leaders in scoring and yards allowed. It’s the classic matchup of unstoppable force versus immovable object.
Prescott, who’s already conquered nearly every team he’s faced in his career, still has one glaring omission on his résumé: the Denver Broncos. They’re one of only two NFL teams the Cowboys quarterback has yet to defeat.
“It’s definitely one I wanna cross off,” he admitted, via Cowboys insider Patrik Walker.
Dallas enters the matchup riding momentum after stringing together dominant offensive performances. Prescott’s chemistry with CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks, and tight end Jake Ferguson has made the Cowboys’ passing attack one of the league’s most efficient. Behind a resurgent offensive line and Tony Pollard’s versatility in the backfield, the Cowboys have found balance — but Denver poses a unique challenge.
Led by defensive standouts Patrick Surtain II, Baron Browning, and Justin Simmons, the Broncos’ defense has built a reputation for suffocating opposing passing games and capitalizing on turnovers. Head coach Sean Payton has emphasized discipline and pressure — two things that can disrupt even the best quarterbacks.
For Prescott, the focus is on embracing the grind. The Cowboys know that beating Denver won’t come easy, and Prescott’s words echo a locker room ready to fight through adversity rather than rely on flash.
“Winning dirty,” he said, “means finding a way — no matter how it looks.”
With playoff implications looming and personal history on the line, this game is shaping up as a statement opportunity for Prescott and the Cowboys. If Dallas can “win dirty” in Denver, it might be the victory that solidifies their identity as a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
