Rashan Gary Says Cowboys Needed To Prove They Could Close Out A Game

Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Rashan Gary emphasized that the team needed to prove it could close out a game following their 34-30 victory over the Houston Texans. Gary noted the defense carried a determined mindset into the final drive to secure a crucial stop after previously surrendering a last-second loss to Baltimore. The win pushed Dallas to a 2-2 record.

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer praised the unit's run defense and third-down performance but criticized their failure to contain Houston receiver Nico Collins, who recorded 118 yards and two touchdowns. Safety Malik Hooker knocked down C.J. Stroud's final Hail Mary attempt, while Gary and Quinnen Williams registered Dallas's first sacks since Week 1.
