Dak Prescott's 98-yard drive saves Cowboys from disaster vs. Texans

Houston almost mounted a miracle drive, but Israel Mukuamu reeled in a vital interception and ultimately secured the 27-23 victory.

Although the Cowboys (10-3) won, they didn't play well. The Texans (1-11-1) forced three turnovers— two were Prescott interceptions. The Texans capitalized on the turnovers and scored 14 points off of them.

Per CBS Sports, the Cowboys were 17-point favorites coming into the game, so they should've turned in a better performance. 

However, the victory highlights one major positive: Dallas can trust Prescott in the clutch. On his last drive, he went 6-of-7 passing for 83 yards. He added 15 rushing yards on two attempts. 

Per Pro Football Reference, Prescott had 17 game-winning drives before the victory over the Texans. 

Prescott's clutch performance was his first in over a year. The last time Prescott led a winning charge was in 2021, during a Week 6 victory over New England. 

Prescott delivering late in close games is something the Cowboys need since they're preparing to make a playoff run.
