Well that was a lot of fun.
The Texans never trailed on Monday Night Football, and slammed the door on the Cowboys in the fourth quarter at AT&T Stadium, with a 34-10 triumph.
Houston was on top, 20-10, the start of the final period, and then the Derek Barnett strip-sack touchdown happened, and Joe Mixon ran for his third score of the night.

The Texans Defense vaporized the Cowboys from the latter part of the second quarter through the end of the game.
Running back Joe Mixon was back at it again. He turned in ANOTHER 100-yard night, and ran for three scores. He now has 10 rushing touchdowns in eight games, and he's also caught a pass for a score. He's scored in seven of those eight contests, and he's cracked the 100-yard mark in six of eight games in 2024.
At times last night, it sounded like a Texans home crowd. H-Town fans showed up, and the coaches and players appreciated the support.
Voice of the Texans Marc Vandermeer sounded off about the win, and shared his thoughts on it in the VanderBlog.
After missing five games with a hamstring injury, wide receiver Nico Collins was back in action on Monday night. He finished with four catches for 54 yards, and on the first play from scrimmage appeared to have galloped for a 77-yard scoring grab, but a penalty wiped that one away. It was good to have him back.
