HOUSTON -- In a league that places a premium on offense, the Cowboys appear more out of step with each passing week.
Sure, Dallas was competitive in this one, something it was unable to accomplish in its first two road losses of the season. But the inability of the Cowboys offense to generate any sort of spark or sustained performance was again their undoing.
The refusal of their head coach to show confidence in them in overtime was telling.
Ka'imi Fairbairn's 36-yard field goal in overtime put the Cowboys out of their misery. The 19-16 loss to Houston drops Dallas below .
