Texans take 16-13 lead on the field goal.I’m all for dumping on Jason Garrett but Bill O’Brien was a hot mess last night as well:On 1st and 10, Dak Prescott does his “2014 Tony Romo impression” to escapes J.J. Watt and complete a 44-yard pass to Tavon Austin!

Sure, they didn’t get it done on third down but isn’t that what this team is built for? Line them up, run it again. Send Dak on the keeper, anything but giving away control of the football.Jerry Jones may say he’s not second-guessing but he’s definitely second-guessing:We are all second-guessing that decision and will for some time, it showed no faith in the one thing you’re supposed to hang your hat on. No faith in the the 95% chance you convert. Nope, we’ll roll with the 5%. The players have to be completely sunk in that moment:Just what kind of team are the 2-3 Cowboys if they’re not going to put faith in their largest investment?
