In a commanding performance, the Dallas Cowboys topped the Houston Texans 34-17 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. With this victory, the Cowboys solidified their position as a contender in the league, showcasing their offensive prowess and strategic depth against a struggling Texans team. Dak Prescott was the star of the night, throwing for 256 yards and four touchdowns, leading Dallas to a decisive win. Javonte Williams added a strong ground game with 94 rushing yards, while the Texans' Jayden Higgins had a standout performance with 154 receiving yards, but ultimately it wasn't enough to keep pace with the Cowboys' explosive offense. Defensively, the Cowboys made key plays, including a sack from Khalil Mack that helped shift momentum in their favor. The game’s turning point came in the second quarter when Prescott threw two quick touchdowns, putting Dallas ahead 21-10 and allowing them to maintain control for the remainder of the contest. Despite Azeez Al-Shaair's interception for Houston, the Cowboys' defense stifled the Texans' attempts to rally back.
