Cowboys fans toasting a C.Lamb masterclass while quietly noting Steele nearly cost them the game anyway.

What happened

D.Prescott to C.Lamb, over and over, until Houston finally ran out of time — the 12-yard touchdown with 43 seconds left capped a 17-catch afternoon that fans will remember for a while. The nerves were earned, though: C.Stroud's 22-yard strike to J.Noel and the Schultz-to-Montgomery lateral both had Dallas on the ropes inside two minutes. A win worth celebrating, with the quiet understanding that a defense bending this far eventually breaks.
