AI Recap
AI RECAPIn an offensive showcase, the Dallas Cowboys topped the Houston Texans 52-34 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. The victory was crucial for Dallas as they continue to solidify their dominance in the league, while Houston struggles to find its footing this season.
Jalen Hurts was nothing short of spectacular for the Cowboys, tossing for 366 yards and an astounding six touchdown passes, showcasing his elite playmaking ability. On the receiving end, Michael Wilson shined brightly with 132 receiving yards, consistently moving the chains and finding the end zone. Meanwhile, Arian Foster kept Houston competitive with a strong performance on the ground, racking up 108 rushing yards.
Defensively, the Cowboys made a significant impact with D.J. Wonnum leading the charge, registering 2.5 sacks that disrupted Houston's rhythm. The turning point came in the third quarter when Dallas scored back-to-back touchdowns, effectively putting the game out of reach. Despite Johnathan Joseph's efforts for the Texans, including a crucial interception and a team-high six tackles, it was not enough to slow down the Cowboys' relentless offensive attack.
