CARLOS WATKINS

Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence forced a fumble and made two other big plays that led to touchdowns.

CeeDee Lamb had 122 yards from scrimmage, Tony Pollard had a 58-yard touchdown run and the Dallas defense produced timely sacks and turnovers in the Cowboys' 27-17 win over the New Orleans Saints.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to open the season at Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay without right guard Zack Martin after the four-time All-Pro tested positive for COVID-19.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott says he's ready for Tom Brady and the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers after his long layoff.

The Dallas Cowboys are still losing ground in a COVID-19 outbreak that was discovered just 90 minutes before their most recent preseason game.

Cooper Rush’s days as the backup to Dak Prescott in Dallas might not be over.

I like football on all levels and always enjoy watching camp workouts especially the 1 on 1 drills as guys fight for jobs. They were fired up play after play2 speaking of making plays on the Defense, shoutout to Carlos Watkins. I watched this group and their drills a lot today and was impressed with Randall Cobb and Brandin Cooks . He doesnt sit still and was smiling and clapping after good plays were made.

Not much good from that one. #Texans Greg Bailey (@GregBailey13) September 29, 2019We need VAR on that face mask #Texans David Nuo (@DavidNunoABC13) September 29, 2019Are you kidding me... Allen gets away from @JJWatt Bob Slovak (@BobSlovak13) September 29, 2019HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Texans fell to 2-2 Sunday afternoon after losing to the Carolina Panthers 16-10 in what felt like a defensive battle.Deshaun Watson was once again sacked multiple times, with it happening six times this week.Watson also had a lackluster performance after showing out last week against the Chargers. While it seemed he could've extended the play even more, he immediately went to the sideline as he started limping.Ka'Imi Fairbairn missed a 53-yard field goal early in the second quarter. He was able to redeem himself with a 37-yard attempt midway through the quarter.On that drive, Carlos Hyde had a 25-yard run, and Duke Johnson had a 40-yard run, finally giving some rhythm to the Texans offense.Whitney Mercilus continued his strong play this season, forcing another strip-sack. It was recovered deep in Panthers territory.Four plays later, the Texans got their first touchdown of the day with a short touchdown run from Watson, tying the game at 10-10.The third quarter didn't have much action, and the fourth quarter opened with a 55-yard field goal from Slye.Texans fans became irate with the officiating at one point.
