Dallas 20, Houston 17, OT<br />
AT&T Stadium, October 5, 2014<br />
Attendance: 91,159<br />
The Dallas Cowboys took an overtime win 20-<br />
17 over the Houston Texans Sunday. Dallas got on<br />
the board first in the second quarter with a 33-yard<br />
Dan Bailey field goal - the only score of the first half<br />
for both sides.<br />
Houston opened the second half with their best<br />
drive of the game, finishing the drive with a 15-yard<br />
Arian Foster rushing score to take the lead. The<br />
Cowboys immediately answered, capitalizing on<br />
some Tony Romo magic as he nimbly escaped a<br />
J.J. Watt sack and connected with Terrance<br />
Williams on a 43-yard bomb in the end zone.<br />
Dallas scored again in the fourth quarter, capitalizing<br />
on a short field set up by a 38-yard Dwayne<br />
Harris punt return with a two-yard Romo-to-Bryant<br />
touchdown pass. The score gave Dallas a 10-point<br />
lead with under 10:00 to go in the game. The<br />
Cowboys defense could not hold the lead however,<br />
and after a Randy Bullock 29-yard field goal,<br />
Houston marched down the field and scored on a<br />
Foster one-yard run with 0:41 remaining. Dallas<br />
had an opportunity to end the game in regulation,<br />
but Bailey missed a long field goal try in the waning<br />
seconds.<br />
The Dallas defense held strong on the Texans<br />
opening drive in overtime, and the Cowboys<br />
offense did not give Houston another chance with<br />
the ball as they drove down the field, aided by<br />
Bryant’s spectacular leaping grab in tight coverage<br />
for 37 yards on third down, and Bailey redeemed<br />
himself with a 49-yard boot to win the game.<br />
Dallas 30, Seattle 23<br />
CenturyLink Field, October 12, 2014<br />
Attendance: 68,432<br />
The Dallas Cowboys went into Seattle and<br />
took a 30-23 win from the home team. The<br />
Seahawks took the opening possession down<br />
the field for a field goal followed by a special<br />
teams touchdown off a blocked punt return. The<br />
Cowboys answered the bell with a two-yard<br />
Gavin Escobar touchdown reception in the back<br />
of the end zone. Dallas added a Dan Bailey 42-<br />
yard field goal and a Jason Witten three-yard<br />
touchdown catch before halftime, taking a 17-10<br />
lead into the half.<br />
Bailey’s field goal gave him 100 for his career<br />
and made him the most accurate kicker in NFL<br />
history with a 91.1 field goal percentage, and<br />
Witten’s touchdown catch gave him 900 for his<br />
career, making him only the second tight end in<br />
NFL history to catch 900 passes.<br />
After both teams punted their opening possessions<br />
of the second half, Seattle got the ball<br />
and a short field when Dwayne Harris muffed a<br />
punt and the Seahawks took over at the Dallas<br />
14-yard line. Russell Wilson capitalized with a<br />
nine-yard touchdown run and then Steven<br />
Hauschka added a 33-yard field goal to recapture<br />
the lead for Seattle. Bailey and Hauschka<br />
traded a pair of field goals before DeMarco<br />
Murray broke free for a 15-yard touchdown run<br />
to give Dallas a late 27-23 lead. The Dallas<br />
defense stood strong again, stopping the<br />
Seahawks on a fourth down try and giving the<br />
team a 30-23 lead after a quick Bailey 31-yard<br />
field goal. Rolando McClain sealed the victory<br />
with an interception of Wilson on the final drive.<br />
