Texans Beat Cowboys 34-10 on MNF

The Houston Texans defeated the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 on Monday night, with Joe Mixon leading the charge by rushing for 109 yards and scoring three touchdowns. This victory snapped the Texans' two-game losing streak and kept them at the top of the AFC South. Mixon's performance was complemented by a strong defensive showing, including a fumble recovery touchdown by Derek Barnett. The Cowboys, struggling this season with a 3-7 record, continued their losing streak, partly due to mistakes and penalties, including a mishap where debris fell from their stadium's retractable roof before the game. Cooper Rush, the Cowboys' quarterback, threw for 354 yards but was sacked five times and intercepted once. Despite some bright moments, such as a 64-yard touchdown pass to KaVontae Turpin, the Cowboys could not overcome the Texans' momentum.
