In a commanding performance, the Dallas Cowboys topped the Houston Texans 34-15 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. The victory not only boosts the Cowboys' momentum but also solidifies their position as a contender in the league, while the Texans face a tough road ahead as they seek to turn their season around. C.J. Stroud was a standout for Dallas, throwing for three touchdowns and effectively leading the offense. Despite being outpassed by Houston's Drake Maye, who racked up 236 yards, Stroud's efficiency and timely scoring made the difference. Meanwhile, on the ground, Jaylen Warren kept the Texans competitive with 96 rushing yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Dallas' high-scoring attack. Defensively, Jalen Ramsey was a game-changer for the Cowboys, recording nine total tackles and two crucial interceptions that shifted the momentum in Dallas' favor. The turning point came in the second quarter when Ramsey picked off a pass, setting up a touchdown that extended the Cowboys' lead to a comfortable margin. Myles Murphy's lone sack for the Texans was a bright spot, but it was the Cowboys' defensive prowess that sealed the game.
