Defense stymies Denver as Dallas moves to 2-0
The associated press
Tucson, Arizona
IRVING, Texas — Even after two days of practicing against the Dallas Cowboys' juiced-up defense, the Denver Broncos looked pretty helpless against them.
The attacking, pressure-seeking front being implemented by new Dallas coach Wade Phillips locked up Denver's starting offense for two quarters, paving the way for the Cowboys to beat the Broncos 31-20 in a preseason game Saturday night.
Tony Romo had another strong outing guiding the Dallas offense, with Marion Barber III running for two touchdowns and Julius Jones also getting one. The Cowboys were up 24-6 at halftime, when both teams turned things over to backups.
Dallas (2-0) flustered Denver quarterback Jay Cutler into going 7 of 13 for only 58 yards. He failed to convert all five third-down chances, leaving the Broncos (1-1) to settle for two short field goals after drives that started in Cowboys' territory following turnovers.
