The Dallas Cowboys faced a tough start in Week 4, but CeeDee Lamb turned the game around with a spectacular second-half performance. After a quiet first half where the offense sputtered, Lamb took over, catching 17 passes for 189 yards and a game-winning touchdown. Dak Prescott relied heavily on his star receiver, targeting him on 21 of 45 routes—a rare sight in today’s NFL. The Texans’ defense, which started strong, couldn’t keep up, especially with Lamb burning Kamari Lassiter repeatedly. Houston’s offense fought back with Nico Collins returning for seven catches, 117 yards, and two touchdowns, plus three short scores from Javonte Williams, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Lamb’s magic. On defense, the Cowboys showed flashes with Joey Porter Jr. performing well in coverage, but the line struggled to pressure C.J. Stroud, who exploited weaknesses in the secondary. This win showcased Lamb’s elite status, joining an elite group with his historic stat line, while highlighting ongoing issues for both teams’ defenses.
