Cowboys fans toasting a C.Lamb masterclass while quietly noting Steele nearly cost them the game anyway.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
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.
What fans said

“That is a legacy Ceedee Lamb game. He caught everything in the 2nd half, and put us over the top when I feel like we all knew a FG wouldn’t be enough.”

“I’m 29 years old and I think that might have been the best game I’ve seen an 88 put up for Dallas in my lifetime.”
