The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Houston Texans 34-30 on October 4, 2026, in the 'Battle of Texas' Week 4 matchup in Houston. Dallas improved to 2-2 while Houston fell to 0-4. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb set a career high with 17 catches for 189 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown reception with 40 seconds remaining that put the Cowboys ahead for good.
The result came despite Houston entering as the home favorite even with an 0-3 record, while Dallas arrived at 1-2. Lamb's late-game production, combined with a Dallas defensive stand in the final minute, decided a back-and-forth contest that went down to the last play.

The outcome landed on the 'yes' side of that even split, with Dallas's fourth-quarter execution outlasting Houston's fourth straight defeat and deepening the Texans' early-season slide.
