Texans Defeat Cowboys 34-10 on MNF

The Houston Texans dominated the Dallas Cowboys with a 34-10 victory, improving their record to 7-4 and maintaining a two-game lead in the AFC South. Joe Mixon was a standout performer, rushing for three touchdowns and accumulating 153 total yards. Despite a brief resurgence in the second quarter with a 64-yard touchdown pass from Cooper Rush to KaVontae Turpin, the Cowboys struggled with turnovers and a lack of offensive balance, ultimately suffering their fifth consecutive loss. The game was marred by injuries for Dallas, including a concussion for tight end Jake Ferguson and injuries to key offensive linemen. Meanwhile, the Texans capitalized on defensive opportunities, highlighted by Derek Barnett's 28-yard fumble return for a touchdown. This loss marks the Cowboys' longest losing streak since 2015, raising concerns about their playoff hopes.
