Cooper Rush threw his third interception in as many games a poorly-thrown pass in the first first quarter Thursday night.
Rush threw two interceptions in Sunday’s preseason loss against the Arizona Cardinals, including a pick six.
His interception against the Texans was almost returned for a touchdown by Justin Reid. Reid stepped out of bounds on his return and the Texans had to drive it in from 44 yards for a 4-yard touchdown run by Alfred Blue to take a 7-3 lead.
The Cowboys took a 3-0 lead on Brett Maher’s 57-yard field goal on their first possession of the night.
