Legend Troy Aikman Lists 5 Reasons the Cowboys Can Beat Denver (5-2) at Mile High: “They Have Everything to Make Something Special Happen”

Dallas – October , 2025

After navigating a turbulent stretch with a 3–3–1 record, the Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for their biggest challenge of the season—a road trip to Empower Field at Mile High to face the Denver Broncos (5–2). The game takes place at an elevation of over 1,600 meters above sea level, where thin air and intense crowd pressure always make life tough for opponents. However, legend Troy Aikman—who led the Cowboys to three Super Bowl titles—believes his old team is fully capable of pulling off an upset.

Here are 5 reasons Aikman believes the Cowboys can defeat Denver:

1️⃣ The Cowboys’ defense is getting back on track

After a shaky start, the Cowboys are now allowing an average of just 17 points per game over the last three weeks. Aikman remarked: “They’ve rediscovered their defensive identity—speed, pressure, and discipline. If they maintain that, they can rattle any offense, even Russell Wilson’s.”

2️⃣ Dak Prescott is regaining his leadership form

After two consecutive games without a turnover, Dak is proving he’s still the heart of the team. “Dak is playing with confidence and absolute control. If he keeps this rhythm, the Cowboys could explode at Mile High,” Aikman affirmed.

3️⃣ Denver’s offense is vulnerable to quick pressure

The Broncos have allowed an average of 3.2 sacks per game—one of the worst marks in the AFC. With Micah Parsons leading the NFL in QB pressures, the Cowboys can exploit this weakness to disrupt Denver’s offensive rhythm.

4️⃣ The Pollard-Lamb duo is the key to unlocking the game

Aikman emphasized: “If Tony Pollard and CeeDee Lamb work together effectively, Dallas can control the clock and hold the ball long enough to dictate the game’s tempo.”

5️⃣ The “Cowboys Family” spirit after the Trevon Diggs ordeal

Following Trevon Diggs’ serious brain injury, the entire team has become more united than ever. Aikman said: “When you play for a brother, you’re not afraid of any challenge.”

Concluding his remarks, Troy Aikman sent a message to Cowboys Nation:

“Denver may be higher than sea level, but the Cowboys’ heart is always at the top. Play with faith, with love for this jersey—and you’ll see the Texas sky still shining bright at Mile High.”

A message steeped in legend—and with that spirit, the Cowboys will head into the upcoming battle not just to win, but to prove that the silver and blue flame has never gone out. 💙⭐
