Cowboys usher in experimental phase as they drop fifth straight, 34-10 to Texans
Briefly

After a day that started with drama as a piece sheet metal fell from the roof of the stadium while it was being opened, the collapse of the Cowboys' season continued into the night afterward. The Cowboys, now at 3-7, sit firmly in the mix for a top-10 draft pick—playoff hopes have all but evaporated, illustrating just how far the team has fallen this season.
Late in a season when misfortunes continue to stack up, the Cowboys might experiment with personnel or schemes to find a spark. This experimental phase may feature different players taking on roles, as demonstrated with Josh Butler starting at cornerback and Israel Mukuamu at the slot. The results showed promise, indicating the coaching staff is looking for potential surprises as the losses mount.
