All game long, the Houston Texans knocked on the Dallas Cowboys’ doorstep. More often than not they were turned away.
But when it counted most, the Texans did just enough in a 19-16 overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Meeting for only the fifth time ever, with the Cowboys winning the past three entering Sunday night, the Texans earned their first victory in the series since the franchise’s inaugural game in 2002.
Deshaun Watson hit DeAndre Hopkins on a 49-yard pass on Houston’s second possession of overtime to set up a game-winning field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn to win its second straight (the first back-to-back wins since 2016) after the team’s 0-3 start.
