On the Cowboys' first possession, they attempted a fake punt on fourth-and-9 form their own 33 with punter Bryan Anger completing a pass to safety Juanyeh Thomas who was immediately tackled. While the Texans celebrated sniffing out and stopping the fake, the Cowboys were left looking silly. Again.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a partially torn hamstring in the Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. While he was originally expected to miss several weeks, Prescott will now miss the remainder of the 2024 season.

Prescott underwent season-ending surgery in New York on Nov. 13 to repair a tendon that tore from the bone. Prescott attended Monday’s game against the Texans with a brace on his leg and he used crutches to move around. He was on the sideline during pregame warmups but watched the contest from a suite.
