Javonte Williams Scores Twice in Denver as Cowboys Fall to Broncos

Dallas revived the former Broncos back on a one-year, $3 million deal after a post-injury decline.

Overview

  • In his return to Denver in Week 8, Williams logged 13 carries for 41 yards and two short-yardage touchdowns in a Dallas loss.
  • Entering Sunday, he ranked second in the NFL with 592 rushing yards and six touchdowns while averaging 5.3 yards per carry.
  • Denver declined to re-sign Williams after his knee injury reduced production, and Dallas added him in March on a low-cost one-year contract.
  • The Broncos reshaped their backfield with J.K. Dobbins and rookie R.J. Harvey, with Dobbins at 523 rushing yards and four touchdowns and Harvey at 264 scrimmage yards.
  • The NFL fined Williams $16,830 for use of the helmet following the Cowboys’ win over Washington, a financial penalty that did not affect his availability.
