Javonte Williams bulldozed his way into the end zone for his third touchdown of the second half, giving the Cowboys their first lead of the day. With only 11:17 left in the fourth quarter, Dallas is now up 27-23, and it feels like the momentum has completely flipped.
Williams Goes Wild, Cowboys Find Their Groove
Talk about a tale of two halves, right? The Cowboys limped through the first, putting up a measly six points and missing two field goal tries. Seriously, what was that? But then the second half hit, and Javonte Williams decided it was his time to shine. This dude has already punched in three scores, including that most recent 2-yard run that put them ahead. He also scored earlier on 8- and 1-yard runs. Dallas has scored back-to-back touchdowns and, man, they’ve put up 21 points to the Texans’ 7 in this second half.
Prescott and Lamb Dialed In, Pickens Makes a Play
It’s not just Williams carrying the load, either. The offense has woken up big time, piling on 321 total yards after being stuck at a paltry 121 in the first half. Dak Prescott is absolutely slinging it, going 23-of-32 for 259 yards. And CeeDee Lamb? He’s a machine, hauling in 12 receptions for a monster 148 yards. Williams, despite all those TDs, has racked up 18 rushes for 60 yards, showing that grit on the ground. Even George Pickens, who was shut out in the first half with zero catches on one target, just blew up with one spectacular 53-yard catch in the second half. Meanwhile, the Texans? They’ve managed a touchdown and a punt on their two second-half possessions, which just isn’t cutting it when Dallas is going off like this.
This is the kind of second-half surge that completely reshapes a game. The Cowboys have finally grabbed the lead, but with 11:17 still on the clock in the fourth, the Texans are definitely looking for a response. Can Dallas hold on and seal this comeback? Every single down from here on out is gonna be massive.
