Cowboys' Texas-themed jabs at Houston tops Week 4 trolls - ESPN

Welcome to the first weekend of October, when the games get a little more meaningful and the trolls follow suit. Week 4 of the NFL season proved exactly that.

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Houston Texans 34-30 on the road. Facing a four-point deficit with 2:23 left, Dallas went on an 11-play, 74-yard drive that concluded with a 12-yard touchdown catch by wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

It put the Cowboys up for good and capped a stellar performance from Lamb. He had a whopping 17 catches — second most in franchise history — for 189 yards. It's the most receptions by any player since Keenan Allen had 18 in Week 3 of the 2023 season, according to ESPN Research.

Dallas had clever jabs lined up for the in-state matchup. The Cowboys referenced country star Ella Langley's hit track, «Choosin' Texas,» in a social media post, adding «Dallas» ahead of «Texas.»

Then, Dallas put a spin on the opening sequence from the sitcom «King of the Hill,» which is set in Texas. The illustration featured Lamb, Dak Prescott, wide receiver George Pickens and safety Caleb Downs hanging out together with «Kings of the State» written above them.
