The Dallas Cowboys should trade wide receiver George Pickens as the NFL Trade Deadline approaches, acording to columnist Tim Cowlishaw.
Dallas had no answers for Bo Nix and the passing attack, and they were bullied by the rushing attack. It looked bad in real time, but one stat makes it seem even worse. Denver backs average 5.35 yards before contact, which is the highest allowed this season by any defense.
The New England Patriots beat the Cleveland Browns 32-13, and are now 6-2. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes ask if the Patriots deserve more respect, and Chris Broussard grades the Dallas Cowboys after their 44-24 loss to the Denver Broncos.
The Denver Broncos are dealing with a key injury in their secondary in the early stages of their Week 9 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Star cornerback Patrick Surtain suffered an apparent leg injury on Denver's first defensive drive of the game. The injury occurred as he was breaking up a pass intended for George Pickens in the end zone.
On one of the final defensive plays before halftime, Surtain appeared to tweak his left shoulder while attempting to tackle Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens. PS2 did not return to the sideline after the halftime break, and the team announced he was questionable to return with a shoulder injury.

Micah Parsons questions Cowboys' handling of Trevon Diggs' health: ‘I think they let him down’
He’s coming off a catastrophic knee injury and I just didn't think they did right by him," Parsons told Yahoo Sports. When reached for comment, Cowboys officials declined to respond to Parsons’ remarks.
Sunday in Denver was a litmus test for the Dallas Cowboys. They set out to take on one of the NFL’s better teams in the Broncos, and while they are an AFC team and therefore a loss to them is the most minimal kind of defeat Dallas could ever suffer from a tie-breaking standpoint, the manner in which they lost matters greatly for overall context.
The Dallas Cowboys were forced to reshuffle their secondary in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, and while it was a disaster, there may be one diamond in the rought.
