  "account": "Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer is confident in his pick-your-poison plan, which includes both George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb. Despite Pickens having limited opportunities, he made crucial plays, including a contested 53-yard catch and a game-winning 22-yard reception. Lamb had an impressive game with 189 receiving yards on 21 targets and 17 catches. The Cowboys' offensive strategy allows them to rely on Pickens when needed, as he can make plays even when double-teamed. It was a well-executed victory for the Cowboys' offense, with all three of their longest plays coming from Pickens. The Texans struggled to keep up with the Cowboys' offense, ranking in the bottom third of the NFL in rushing yards and yards per attempt.",
