In Week 4 NFL action, the Texans held a 23-13 lead over the Cowboys midway through the third quarter when a couple of costly penalties on cornerback Kamari Lassiter allowed Dallas to score a touchdown. Despite blocking a field goal and converting a key third-and-14 play later, the Texans ultimately lost, falling to 0-4. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni's decision to go for a fourth-and-goal instead of kicking a field goal with a 20-10 lead against the Rams backfired, allowing Los Angeles to pull ahead and win. Meanwhile, a clutch interception by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper helped secure a victory over the Buccaneers, who were led by rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels in a losing effort.
