Dallas Cowboys lose to Denver Broncos: Dak Prescott and Cowboys offense flat, was this a blueprint? Ari Temkin of the Dallas Cowboys radio network reacts to the Denver Broncos beating Dallas Cowboys 30-16 in Week 9 of the NFL season. Dak Prescott was uncharacteristically bad in his first game back after suffering a calf injury in OT of the Cowboys victory over the New England Patriots. Dak missed the Minnesota Vikings, a surprise 20-16 victory behind a valiant effort from Cowboys back-up QB Cooper Rush. Dak returned on Sunday, November 7, 2021 at AT&T Stadium for the Cowboys 12pm CST kickoff against the Broncos and had one of his worst games as a pro. The Cowboys offense, which has been one of the best in the NFL, was anything but great in the loss to the Broncos. What can we takeaway from the Cowboys first loss since the opening week of the season?
