His connection with the receiving corps was on full display, while the Texans struggled to contain the Dallas passing attack. Meanwhile, Adrian Peterson of the Texans managed to gain 89 rushing yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the Cowboys' scoring. Defensively, Chidobe Awuzie made his presence felt with three total tackles and an interception, which proved pivotal in stifling Houston's momentum. The turning point came in the second quarter when Awuzie's interception set up another touchdown for Dallas, allowing them to extend their lead and ultimately control the game. J.J. Watt's lone sack for Houston was not enough to shift the tide, as the Cowboys' defense held firm throughout the contest.
