The Dallas Cowboys put on a show on Sunday, defeating the Houston Texans 45-10 behind a stellar performance from quarterback Dak Prescott. The Cowboys offense was in full swing, with Prescott throwing for 355 yards and three touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown for good measure.
Prescott was in control from the start, leading the Cowboys to a 21-3 halftime lead. He connected with wide receiver Amari Cooper for two of his touchdown passes, while tight end Jason Witten caught the other. Prescott also found Cooper for a game-high 11 receptions and 147 yards.
The Cowboys defense was just as impressive, shutting down the Texans offense and holding them to just 10 points. Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch had a team-high 11 tackles, while defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence had two sacks and a forced fumble.
The win was the Cowboys’ fourth straight and improved their record to 6-4 on the season. It also marked their first win over the Texans since 2015, and provided a much-needed boost of confidence heading into their next game against the New England Patriots.
The Cowboys have been on a roll lately, and Prescott’s performance against the Texans is a big reason why. He has been one of the most consistent quarterbacks in the league this season, and his ability to make plays with both his arm and his legs has been a major factor in the team’s success.
The Cowboys have a tough schedule ahead of them, but if Prescott can continue to play at a high level, they have a good chance of making the playoffs. Sunday’s win over the Texans was a great start, and if they can keep up their winning ways, they could be in for a special season.
