GAME UPDATE: Cowboys vs. Broncos – How to Watch, Listen, and Stream Week 8 NFL Game
The Denver Broncos welcome the Dallas Cowboys to the thin-air intensity of Empower Field at Mile High for a pivotal Week 8 afternoon showdown on CBS. It’s a compelling interconference clash steeped in history — the next installment in a series where Denver boasts a dominant 9-5 all-time edge, highlighted by a convincing 30-16 road victory in their last meeting on November 7, 2021 — featuring a marquee quarterback duel between Dak Prescott and Bo Nix in a game ripe with wild-card ramifications.
Both teams arrive as bona fide playoff hopefuls. The Broncos, steered by head coach Sean Payton, ride a wave of momentum with four straight wins, aiming to fortify their hold atop the AFC West, while the Cowboys, under Mike McCarthy, chase back-to-back victories for the first time this season to ignite their push among the NFC’s elite after a gritty 44-22 bounce-back over the Commanders.
