Gordon recorded 21 rush attempts for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cowboys. He added two receptions for 15 yards.
Gordon led the team with 21 carries, nearly double his previous high on the season. Game script worked to his benefit -- the Broncos were up 19-0 midway through the third quarter -- though he didn't necessarily take full advantage by averaging only 3.8 yards per carry and logging a long of 14 yards for the day. Even so, he tallied his fourth touchdown of the season late in the first quarter by plunging into the end zone from three yards away. Despite the inefficiency, this was a positive performance for Gordon overall, and he could benefit from game script again in a Week 10 matchup against the Eagles.
