Houston Texans beat the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 on Monday Night Football to seize control of the AFC South.<\/b><\/p>\n

Joe Mixon rushed for 109 yards and three touchdowns to inspire his side to a first franchise victory at Dallas’ AT&T Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Texans raced into a 14-0 lead before the defence stepped up and sacked Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush five times, intercepted him once and scored a touchdown on a strip sack.<\/p>\n

Quarterback CJ Stroud had an underwhelming evening, completing 23 of 34 passes for no touchdowns and one interception.<\/p>\n

Houston conceded nine penalties for 69 yards, which allowed the Cowboys to stay in the game, but ended a two-game losing streak to improve to 7-4 at the top of the AFC South, two wins ahead of the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n

Dallas have lost five games in a row and have slipped to 3-7, all but ending their play-off hopes.<\/p>\n

The Texans’ next two opponents are divisional rivals the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars, both of whom have won just two games this season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Cowboys will travel to the Washington Commanders before hosting the New York Giants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
