Cowboys vs Texans recap: Social media reaction to another embarrassing beat down
The Houston Texans had never beaten the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T stadium, but on Monday Night Football that changed. The Texans helped Dallas keep things close for a while but they soon pulled away in the fourth quarter and left Cowboys fans frustrated and upset. Here’s what social media had to say as the game developed.
It looked bleak to begin with.
Lots of empty seats AT&T Stadium. lots of red too

The game started and Nico Collins took the ball to the house on the first play. Cowboys were saved by a flag.
Don’t let that flag distract you from the awful angles from the safeties

Texans drive with ease down the field and finish with a Joe Mixon touchdown.
Longest rushing touchdown against Dallas this season.
Feels like that may be the first of many records coming tonight #DallasCowboys

A fight broke out which is telling of the Cowboys players frustration levels.
A scuffle breaks out after the ensuing Texans kickoff. KaVontae Turpin and Markquese Bell get into it with Texans CB M.J. Stewart. No flags but a lot of pushing and shoving.

Cowboys try a fake punt. Cowboys fail the fake punt.
Houston then goes for it on fourth down and Malik Hooker makes the catch.
Malik Hooker with the interception and the Cowboys’ defense makes the first big play of the game. At least for the home team.

The Cowboys don’t deserve to win this game
But the Texans deserve to lose it

Dallas in the redzone, it’s fourth down and Mike McCarthy goes for it. Fails for the second time.
I guess Mike McCarthy doesn’t have anything to lose and you might as well be aggressive, but taking points off the board with a backup QB just felt like asking for trouble.
I don’t *really* hate it because what the hell. but yeah I think I’d have just taken the fg.

Texans defense cause the fumble and score off a whacky play.
Guyton allowed a sack and lost a fumble on the same play.

LOTS of Dallas Cowboys fans filing out of AT&T Stadium.
There’s 12:31 left in the game on Monday Night Football.

Guyton goes down injured, then Zack Martin, then Tyler Smith.
Zack Martin and Tyler Smith are hurt in the same sequence. Not good for the interior OL for Dallas.
T.J. Bass and Brock Hoffman in the game.

Things are just sad for this team.
Dallas penalized for 12 men on the field.
