AI RECAPIn a dominant display, the Houston Texans topped the Dallas Cowboys with a final score of 34-7 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. The Texans entered the game looking to boost their momentum, and they certainly delivered with a commanding performance against their rivals.
Offensively, Jaxson Dart led the charge for Houston, throwing for one touchdown while managing the game effectively. Jonathan Taylor was a force on the ground, racking up 92 rushing yards, while Tetairoa McMillan topped all receivers with 103 yards for Dallas. Despite the Cowboys' efforts, they struggled to find the end zone, ultimately leading to their downfall.
Defensively, the Texans were relentless, with Elijah Molden making a significant impact by snagging two interceptions that shifted the momentum in their favor. Montez Sweat added pressure with a sack, contributing to the overall disruption of the Cowboys' offensive flow. The turning point came when Molden's second interception set up a short field, allowing Houston to extend their lead and put the game out of reach.
