HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans almost pulled off the biggest upset of the season as the 17-point underdogs almost took down the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday on the road.
The Texans (1-11-1) led 23-20 with 3:20 remaining in the fourth quarter before Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott led a 98-yard, game-winning drive capped by a 2-yard Ezekiel Elliott run to seal Dallas' 27-23 win.
The Texans' struggling offense, which came in averaging 15 points, deployed a two-quarterback system as a spark.
And it almost worked.
The Texans walked into AT&T Stadium without their two leading receivers (Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins) and were facing a Cowboys defense allowing 17 points per game, which ranks in the top 3.
