Houston Texans 28, Dallas Cowboys 16
The Texans pushed around the Cowboys over the weekend as they continue to look sharp in the pre-season. Matt Schaub was outstanding as he completed 12 of 16 passes for 109 yards with 2 TD passes. Sage Rosenfels finished up the game completing 8 of 13 passes for 62 yards with 1 TD pass. RB Ahman Green was outstanding as he carried the ball 8 times for 65 yards (8.1 ypc). Samkon Gado (4 car, 32 yards) and Ron Dayne (8 car, 25 yards) both looked good against the Cowboys running the football. Andre Johnson looked sharp snagging 4 passes for 39 yards with a TD. Rookie WR Jacoby Jones was also electric catching 2 passes for 26 yards including a TD and he also returned a punt 91 yards for a TD. The Texans rushed for 142 yards on 26 carries (5.5 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 29 passes for 164 yards.
The defense played well against the running game as they held the Cowboys to 57 yards rushing on 21 carries (2.7 ypc). But, the Cowboys passed pretty well against the Texans completing 19 of 28 passes for 234 yards.
