Joe Mixon rushed for 109 yards and three touchdowns to inspire his side to a first franchise victory at Dallas' AT&T Stadium. 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.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans called running back Joe Mixon "a force" after his three-touchdown performance in Houston's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys on "Monday Night Football." Mixon did the heavy lifting for the Texans' offense as he scored all of its offensive touchdowns and rushed for 109 yards.
