Houston (1-11-1) appeared in position to end a seven-game losing streak after Dak Prescott's interception inside the Dallas 10 with 5:37 to go and the Texans leading by three.
The Cowboys stiffened against a makeshift Texans offense, stuffing backup quarterback Jeff Driskel on a fourth-down run to give Prescott another shot starting just outside his own goal line.
After going back to Davis Mills as the starter following a two-game benching, the Texans threw in a wrinkle with Driskel offering a hybrid wildcat/throwing role that included his first TD pass since 2020. Kyle Allen, the replacement for Mills the previous two games, was inactive. Taking over at the Dallas 24-yard line, the Texans showed the first wrinkle in the offense by bringing out Driskel. He ran once and threw once to start a sequence that ended with rookie Dameon Pierce’s 1-yard scoring run.
