The Dallas Cowboys evaded what would have been a devastating loss to the Houston Texans in a true nail-biter. They got in trouble largely due to three lost turnovers while only taking the ball away once before the somewhat meaningless interception on the last-ditch Hail Mary pass that effectively ended the game. Most of the credit for getting the win has gone to the impressive 98-yard touchdown drive engineered by Kellen Moore, Dak Prescott, and the rest of the offense. But that overshadows what may have been more important. With the Texans getting a first and goal from the four-yard line due to the last of those giveaways, the Cowboys’ defense stopped them and got the ball back on downs to give the offense the opportunity to score the winning touchdown.
