It took longer than expected, but the Dallas Cowboys came away with a 20-17 win over the Houston Texans Sunday to move to 4-1 on the year.
The first half was not nearly as exciting as the second. The Cowboys offense couldn't get much going, as they went into the locker room with just a 3-0 lead.
Things were much more interesting in the second half, as both offenses started to get into sync. The Cowboys had a 17-7 lead with 2:36 left in the fourth quarter. However, the Texans made a field goal and a quick touchdown to tie the game at 17 with 41 seconds left.
Nonetheless, the Cowboys drove into field-goal range with three seconds left in regulation. Dan Bailey couldn't make the 53-yard field goal, which sent them into overtime.
After a Cowboys stop, Romo led the Cowboys back into field-goal range and gave Bailey shot at redemption. Bailey rebounded from his earlier miss and made the 49-yard field goal to win the game.
Despite his interception, Romo had himself a good game, especially at the end. He led the Cowboys into a position to win the game on two separate occasions.
The Cowboys defense was great throughout the game, but was a much different squad when Rolando McClain went out with an apparent leg injury.
