ARLINGTON, Texas — Dan Bailey made up for a rare miss at the end of regulation to nail a 49-yard field goal in overtime to lift the Dallas Cowboys past Houston Texans 20-17 Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium.

The Cowboys (4-1) were able to withstand three turnovers and Houston’s fourth-quarter rally to win their fourth game in a row since a season-opening loss to San Francisco.

Quarterback Tony Romo passed for 324 yards and two touchdowns, and his long pass to receiver Dez Bryant in overtime set up Bailey’s game winner. Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray added his NFL rushing lead with 136 yards on the ground.

Dallas’ winning streak will be on the line next Sunday at defending Super Bowl champion Seattle. The Cowboys are 2-0 on the road this season. The Texans (3-2) return to Houston to face Indianapolis on Thursday night.

The Texans mustered only 330 yards of offense and 15 first downs. Houston running back Arian Foster did run for a season-high 157 yards and two scores, but quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was only 16-of-25 for 154 yards and an interception.

After a dismal first half, the Texans built some momentum and a 7-3 lead in the third quarter behind Foster. The sixth-year back carried the ball five times for 59 yards on a six-play drive covering 71 yards. Foster took it the final 15 yards for the touchdown.

Dallas responded with two Romo touchdown passes to go up 17-7 in the fourth quarter.

The first scoring march went 78 yards and was highlighted by two long passes. Romo connected with tight end Jason Witten on a 34-yard throw before spinning out of a sack by defensive end J.J. Watt to find receiver Terrance Williams on a 43-yard score.

A long punt return and a steady dose of Murray helped set up the second touchdown. Romo hooked up with Bryant on a 2-yard strike giving the Cowboys 10 points worth of breathing room with 9:44 left in the game.

Houston pulled within a touchdown at 17-10, but the seven-plus minute drive that resulted in just a field goal left just 2:27 on the clock. That ended up being more than enough time.

The Texans got the ball back with 1:59 on the clock at the Dallas 45-yard line after a punt. Two plays later Houston was at the Cowboys’ 5. The Texans needed only two Foster carries and the game was tied 17-17 with 41 seconds remaining.

Dallas moved the ball to the 35, setting up Bailey’s 53-yard try to win. The kick sailed left, ending Bailey’s streak of consecutive field goals at 30 and sending the game into OT.

Scoring chances were few and far between in the first half, as both sides struggled to move and hold on to the ball. The Cowboys did get into the red zone twice, but had only a field goal to show for it.

Bailey’s 33-yarder at the end of the first half was the difference in a 3-0 game. The teams combined for only 251 yards and three turnovers in the first 30 minutes.

Dallas appeared poised to turn the first possession change into points.

An obvious miscommunication between Fitzpatrick and Foster led to an interception by Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick on Houston’s second series.

The Cowboys were driving for the game’s first score when Murray coughed up the ball just outside of the Houston 10-yard line after a hit by safety Kendrick Lewis. Murray, who had 31 carries, has now lost a fumble in four of the season’s five games.

The Texans got the ball back via another Dallas fumble — this one by punt returned Dwayne Harris in the second quarter. Despite starting on the Cowboys’ 43, Houston didn’t go anywhere and punted the ball back.

Romo then took the Cowboys 65 yards to set up Bailey’s kick for the only points of the half.
