Dramatic win for Broncos

The Broncos saved their best for last Sunday afternoon, beating the Dallas Cowboys 17-10 in dramatic fashion at INVESCO Field at Mile High to improve to 4-0 on the season.

After Kyle Orton connected with Brandon Marshall for a go-ahead 51-yard touchdown reception with just under two minutes remaining in regulation, Denver's defensive unit bent but didn't break. They preserved the victory by holding the Cowboys on 4th-and-goal from the Denver 2-yard line with one second remaining on the clock.

Tony Romo (pictured) directed Dallas' offense 78 yards down to the goal line, but Champ Bailey stopped passes intended for Sam Hurd on third and fourth down, respectively, sending Denver home with a hard-fought victory.

Trailing 10-0 after the first quarter, the Broncos scored 17 points unanswered points to come away with the win.
