Summary

  • Dallas erased a 30-27 deficit in the final minutes, finishing a 34-30 comeback after scoring four second-half touchdowns against Houston.
  • Four straight second-half touchdown drives flipped a first half in which the Cowboys managed only six points and had one field goal blocked and another missed.
  • CeeDee Lamb powered the turnaround with 17 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown, while Javonte Williams added three rushing scores at the goal line.
  • Houston still pushed Dallas to the edge: C.J. Stroud hit early gains of 45 and 52 yards, and the Texans took a late lead on an 87-yard drive before the Cowboys answered.
  • The win again highlighted Dallas' volatile formula—explosive offense and late-game resilience offset by recurring breakdowns on defense and special teams.
