The Cowboys had their issues over the weekend with the Texans.  They couldn’t get their running game going and they couldn’t stop the Texans from running the football.  Tony Romo was pretty sharp completing 14 of 22 passes for 197 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 interception.  Brad Johnson finished up and he completed 5 of 6 passes for 56 yards with 1 interception.  Julius Jones (10 car, 34 yards) and Marion Barber (6 car, 14 yards) couldn’t get anything going against the Texans’ defense.  WR Sam Hurd had a solid game for the Cowboys as he caught 4 passes for 68 yards.  Jason Witten (3 grabs, 47 yards, TD) and Terrell Owens (1 rec, 35 yards, TD) both looked sharp catching passes from Romo.  The Cowboys finished the game with only 57 yards rushing on 21 carries (2.7 ypc).  The Cowboys also completed 19 of 28 passes for 234 yards.

The Cowboys allowed the Texans to rush for 142 yards on 26 carries (5.5 ypc) and the Texans completed 20 of 29 passes for 164 yards.  That’s not all as rookie WR Jacoby Jones of the Texans ran a punt back 91 yards for a TD against the Cowboys.
