The Dallas Cowboys topped the Houston Texans 20-10 in a Week 4 showdown, maintaining their momentum in the 2026 season. With both teams vying for an early advantage, the Cowboys showcased their efficiency and execution on both sides of the ball to secure the victory. Dak Prescott led the Cowboys' offense with a steady performance, throwing for 142 yards and a touchdown. His connection with Dont'e Thornton Jr. was pivotal, as Thornton racked up 68 receiving yards, providing key yardage at critical moments. Meanwhile, David Montgomery of the Texans fought valiantly on the ground with 58 rushing yards, but it wasn’t enough to close the gap. Defensively, the Cowboys made their presence felt, especially with Caleb Downs contributing four total tackles and Joey Porter Jr. snagging an interception that shifted the game's momentum. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Prescott's touchdown pass put Dallas up by two scores, forcing the Texans to play catch-up for the remainder of the game. Will Anderson Jr. did manage to secure a sack for Houston, but overall, the Cowboys' defense held firm to seal the win.
