Dallas storylines after their Week 4 win versus the Texans

After a week where the Dallas Cowboys had a thrilling win against the Houston Texans, the storylines have shifted to a much more positive tone. The Cowboys faced a challenging situation in the final minutes of the game, needing a desperate performance from CeeDee Lamb and an MVP-caliber second-half effort from Dak Prescott. However, they managed to pull off the upset with defensive stops and special teams plays.

The Cowboys are now tied with the Philadelphia Eagles at 2-2 and one game behind the 3-1 New York Giants for the division lead. Joey Porter Jr. made an excellent first impression as the new cornerback, allowing no receptions or yards despite not being targeted. Dallas' passing defense was ranked among the worst in the league, so the front office traded for Porter Jr. to bolster their secondary.

The team struggled to get Javonte Williams going in the first two weeks, but their strategy changed in Week 3. Williams had a breakthrough performance in the final drive, scoring a touchdown and helping Dallas secure the victory. Trusting their power running back will be crucial moving forward, especially with Tyler Smith expected to return to the offensive line soon.

Dak Prescott has the potential to be one of the top MVP candidates, as he showed in the win against the Texans. With Prescott completing five of seven passes against the blitz for 116 yards, he dominated the game and put Dallas on a potential three-game winning streak.
