Can the Cowboys Climb the Mountain? A Mile High Test in Denver | Just Wondering with Norm Hizges
Norm laces up his hiking boots for one of the Cowboys’ toughest climbs yet — a trip to Denver, where the air is thin and the pass rush is thick. In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm breaks down the brutal matchup between Dallas and the Broncos, spotlighting a defense that leads the league in sacks and a young quarterback, Bo Nix, who’s learning how to win ugly. With stats, storytelling, and a dash of nostalgia, Norm revisits the Cowboys’ last win in Denver — thirty-three years ago — complete with Jimmy Johnson’s halftime rage and a Charles Haley scolding for the ages. This one’s a mix of history, humor, and a hard look at what it’ll take for Dallas to exorcise three decades of Mile High misery.
