By day's end, the Broncos racked up 190 yards on the ground — their best total of the season, and the Cowboys defense's worst. Williams accounted for 111 yards, while veteran back Melvin Gordon III totaled 80 yards and a touchdown.
"Those guys just stayed patient," Bridgewater said. "We knew that we could scheme up some good runs. For us as a unit, an offensive unit, the more we could eliminate the negative plays and going backwards, I think we can be a pretty good offense. You saw Javonte and Melvin just mixin' it up today, that one-two punch — the defense didn't really know what was coming. We did a great job of getting them going on the edge. The guys did a great job on the perimeter of blocking, so it was an overall team effort."
With Denver's offensive line missing three starters by halftime — tackles Garett Bolles and Calvin Anderson, as well as guard Graham Glasgow — the performance was all the more impressive.
"That felt great," second-year center Lloyd Cushenberry III said. "We knew we were due for one of these days, and we've been waiting on it. We've just been putting in a lot of work, just had to get it going and just stuck to it all day. We knew we could run the ball on this team, so it was good to finally break through."
That kind of breakthrough proved crucial for the offense as a whole. Denver's offense piled up 407 yards, which is the team's best total since the season opener in New York.
"I felt like we got off to a hot start, and when you do that with the run game, I feel like Coach [Offensive Coordinator Pat] Shurmur was able to stick with it," Williams said. "Every run's not going to be a big run — we had a couple two- or 3-yarders — but I feel like we had a lot of big plays in the run game, and that really opened everything up."
Behind those big plays, Williams pulled together a career night. He had his first 100-yard game, got his first game ball and he may once again win "Good Morning Football"'s Angry Runs scepter because of that 30-yard run.
With all that and a win, Williams and the Broncos may be at their happiest when he's at his angriest.
