Cowboys find their finish as Lamb caps a 34–30 comeback in Houston

Dallas found the late touchdown it needed Sunday, Oct. 4, when Dak Prescott connected with CeeDee Lamb from 12 yards out to complete a 34–30 comeback victory over the Houston Texans.

The decisive possession covered 74 yards in 11 plays. It was the final answer in a game the Cowboys had trailed 16–6 at halftime, and it gave Dallas a much better ending than the previous week’s narrow defeat against Baltimore.

Lamb caught 17 passes for 189 yards. Prescott completed 32 of 45 passes for 335 yards, while Javonte Williams supplied three rushing touchdowns.

Dallas had to work through a frustrating first half before its offense began finishing drives. Williams scored twice in the third quarter and again in the fourth, but Houston regained the lead before Prescott’s final touchdown march.

The result also came with a reminder that a winning afternoon can still leave work to do. The teams finished almost even in total offense, and Dallas needed another scoring drive after surrendering its late lead. The difference was that the Cowboys completed that last assignment.

The turnaround is short: Dallas hosts Tampa Bay at AT&T Stadium on Thursday. Sunday’s win provides momentum, but little time to admire it.
