The Dallas Cowboys secured a thrilling 34-30 victory against the Houston Texans on Sunday, with CeeDee Lamb scoring the decisive 12-yard touchdown reception with just 40 seconds left in the game. Lamb had a standout performance, amassing a career-high 17 receptions for 189 yards and a crucial score.
Dak Prescott led the Cowboys on an essential 11-play, 74-yard drive that culminated in the game-winning touchdown. Despite a late surge from the Texans, including a touchdown run by Woody Marks, Houston could not hold onto their lead.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud threw for 347 yards, and Nico Collins contributed significantly with seven catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. However, their efforts were not enough to prevent the Texans from extending their winless streak.
The Texans had previously led, extending their advantage to 23-13 in the third quarter after a 53-yard kickoff return and another touchdown reception by Collins. The Cowboys battled back, with Tony Pollard scoring multiple touchdowns to cut into the lead.
Despite late defensive plays like a blocked field goal attempt and a pass interference penalty that aided Dallas, the Texans' final offensive possession ended with an incomplete desperation pass from Stroud, sealing the Cowboys' victory.
