What we learned from Houston's 34-10 win
FULL BOX SCORE
- Houston scores primetime victory. Houston got off to a hot start and then settled into a very disappointing spot for much of its meeting with Dallas in Week 11. The Texans can stroke Joe Mixon on his shoulder pads for his contributions, because without him Monday night's game would have lacked highlights. We knew Dallas wouldn't produce many (although the Cowboys did get one). KaVontae Turpin via a 64-yard touchdown reception), but the Texans lacked punch offensively for much of the night. Happy, Jalen Pitre And Derek Barnett teamed up to produce the best play of the night, with Barnett recording a strip sack and Pitre firing his entire body into the Cowboys offensive lineman Tyler Guytonforcing a fumble which Barnett recovered and returned for a score. That play put the Cowboys to bed and eliminated any intrigue in a game that was already expected to be a blowout but needed a big defensive play to become one. However, they all count the same.
- Rush is better in the second start, but not nearly good enough to win. Dallas didn't pose any threat in last week's loss to Philadelphia, which was also the team's first appearance without one Dak Prescott in 2024. The good news is that Cooper Rush was better in his second start, throwing for 354 yards and a touchdown, and was able to string together enough drives to at least make this game interesting. The bad news is that Dallas asked him to throw 55 passes but couldn't back him up with a running game and expected him to just make it work with CeeDee Lam and Turpin. The two receivers finished with a combined 179 receiving yards and a score, but let's be honest: this offense isn't a threat to anyone right now. Unlike last week, that wasn't Rush's fault, but it also won't make Cowboys fans feel any better about the rest of the 2024 season.
- The Texans offense is still putting up points on the field. Look, it wasn't pretty for most of Monday night. Other than a quick scoring drive to open the night, Houston's offense remained disjointed, especially on third down (the Texans finished 3 for 11). C.J. Stroud is still not consistently protected, and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik appears to have lost his magic touch. And yet the Texans are 7-4. Stroud still completed 23 of 34 passes for 257 yards, but didn't throw a touchdown pass and also threw a pretty ugly interception in the red zone. Luckily, they have Joe Mixon, who broke 100 yards and scored three touchdowns on the ground that night. I have issues with the way Houston handles its rush attempts on third down, and when it tried Monday night on third and short 1, the call was — a sideline throw to Tank Dell — was incredibly baffling regardless of the outcome (it backfired). These issues need to be resolved if the Texans are serious about competing outside of the terrible AFC South.
- Anderson's presence was missed. Towards the end of the game, the numbers obscured this observation, but early in the game it was shocking to see how often Cooper Rush had time to throw. Without Wil Anderson Jr.Houston had great difficulty generating a pass rush, but opted to play coverage in the hope that the front four would eventually break through. They did so, recording five sacks on the night, but for about two and a half quarters it was clear the Texans dearly missed their reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year. Barnett and Danielle Hunter ultimately ended up covering up Anderson's absence by combining for three of the Texans' five sacks, but their pressure rate was still 26.2% on the night. That won't work against better teams – just look at what happened last week against Detroit.
- Cowboys continue to trudge miserably toward nowhere. Honestly, where does Dallas go from here? The sky is rightly falling at AT&T Stadium, where the descent of a metal piece from the facility's roof before the game raised concerns and forced officials to take action. We've heard a lot about the Cowboys' issues with where the sun sets. They've lost their quarterback, they're currently limited to two weapons in their lineup (Lamb and Turpin), and they're not scaring anyone left on their schedule. Even Micah Parsons' return couldn't put the defense out of contention, and with seven games remaining, there simply isn't much to look forward to for Dallas fans. Are there any coaching changes coming? Maybe. But before that happens, Cowboys fans will be forced to make even more of these ugly outings in the final weeks of 2024. Perhaps they'll find their way in two weeks against the Giants – which of course will be far too late to end this season still to be saved.
Statistics of the next generation of Texans-Cowboys (via NFL Pro): KaVontae Turpin topped out at 36.36 mph on his 64-yard touchdown reception, the fastest speed by a ball carrier this season and the fastest play by a Cowboys ball carrier in the NGS era (since 2016).
NFL Research: With Monday night's 34-10 loss to the Texans, the Cowboys trail by at least 20 points in six consecutive home games, dating back to last season's Super Wild Card Weekend loss to Green Bay, which is an NFL record streak .
