Texans beat Cowboys in overtime after Jason Garrett's punt call

  • Houston win 19-16 after decisive Ka’imi Fairbairn FG
  • Dallas 2-3 after Garrett’s fourth-and-1 decision

Facing a big decision in overtime on Sunday night, Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett put his trust in the defense.

On fourth-and-1 on the Houston Texans’ 42-yard line with less than six minutes remaining in overtime, Garrett chose to punt. “We just felt like at that point in the game, the way our defense was playing, the idea was to pin them down there,” Garrett said. “Chris [Jones] did a great job with the punt, they got the ball on the 10-yard line. Hopefully, you make the stop and win the game, but it went the other way and they got the game-winning field goal.”
