Dak Prescott spent part of his postgame availability talking about something bigger than the Cowboys’ 37-34 kind of night: faith.
Dallas had just knocked off the Houston Texans on Sunday to move to 2-2, erasing a double-digit second-half deficit in a win that could alter the shape of the season. But Prescott’s comments after the game drifted away from the scoreboard and toward the way faith has become more visible around the team.
Prescott said he sees that shift as tied to the leadership of head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
“Absolutely. I think credit ‘Schotty’ [Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer] and his leadership and the way that he’s opened that up.
That’s who he is. That’s who I am.
That’s who a lot of the guys on our team are and trying to be contagious and understand we’re all here because of God and we’re all here to serve a greater purpose. That’s my point about opening your perspective up when things happen, win, lose, or draw, what’s the purpose?”
Prescott said after the game via Clarence Hill Jr.
He expanded on that idea by pointing to how the team handles whatever comes next, saying the response matters just as much as the result.
“What does God have meaning for this? We may not always have the answers for it but we know what God wants us to do in our response and that’s be the best versions of ourselves, serving Him, serving others and doing it with just pure love.
I’m thankful for this team. We’ve got great chaplains in Jonathan and Dr.
Evans and so they’re helping lead that cause and that’s life.”
Prescott said the message goes beyond any single game or any one player.
“I’ve been through so much in my life. God’s always been the reason and, yeah.
Who I fall back on and my refuge, as I say, I can’t thank Him enough and never will be able to thank Him enough and just to see that transcend throughout our team, starting with our head coach is special,” Prescott continued. “It’s something that we take pride in.
At the end of the day, it’s about giving Him the glory. From that, good things will come, all great things will come, so thankful for that.”

Cowboys Pass Rush Problems Could Revive A Reunion Fans Never Expected
Four games into the 2026 season, the Cowboys pass rush has not produced the kind of pressure this defense needs, with just four sacks so far. That kind of slow start tends to get teams looking for outside help, and Bleacher Reports Kristopher Knox has already floated a familiar name as a possible fix: Jadeveon Clowney, now with the Texans, who are also sitting at 0-4.
The idea is not exactly new in Dallas, since the Cowboys have shown interest in Clowney before, but the fit is where the conversation gets tricky. Under Christian Parker, the defense has its own structure and demands, and there are real questions about how well Clowney would slot into it if the Cowboys decided to explore a trade market that suddenly feels more urgent than expected.

Jerry Jones Just Put Pressure On Two New Cowboys To Deliver
The Cowboys latest additions from Pittsburgh arrive with the kind of built-in urgency that follows any move for young, talented players on rookie deals. Jerry Jones made clear the club is not treating contract talks as the immediate priority, which puts the spotlight squarely on George Pickens and Joey Porter Jr. to show they can help right away. Pickens has 225 yards and no touchdowns this season, while Porter is just getting started in Dallas after missing time because of injury.
For a team that has spent plenty of time talking about expectations, the message is simple enough: production comes first, and everything else comes later. Jones suggested any future negotiations will be shaped by how both players perform and how the team fares, so these early weeks matter. Pickens has to turn volume into impact, and Porter has to build on a delayed debut, because the Cowboys are making it clear that both newcomers will have to earn their next conversation.

Cowboys Stole This Rivalry Win In A Way Texans Fans Will Hate
The Cowboys walked out of NRG Stadium with a 34-30 rivalry win over the Texans, and it came with the kind of late-game finish that tends to linger in this series. Dak Prescott found CeeDee Lamb for the touchdown that sealed it, a sequence that let Dallas leave Houston with bragging rights after a tight night in front of a split crowd feel.
Even before the final score settled in, the game had already drawn attention for a different reason when Instagram influencer Ene, better known as @truly.ene, went viral for her custom Houston Texans outfit. The look added another layer to a matchup that already had plenty of edge, and it turned the night into one of those crossover sports moments where the football result and the scene around it both got people talking.
