Nothing makes Houston Texans’ defensive coordinator Lovie Smith smile more than turnovers. And nothing makes first-year head coach David Culley smile more than ending a drive with a touchdown.
The Texans jumped out to an early 7-0 lead against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday at AT&T Stadium. Running back Mark Ingram scored on a 2-yard rush for the Texans’ first touchdown of the night in Dallas. Ingram, who signed with the Texans on a one-year contract in March, is making his unofficial debut.

The Texans had great field position on their first offensive drive thanks to their improved defense. On the Cowboys’ third play of the night, defensive end Jacob Martin committed a strip-sack on quarterback Garrett Gilbert. The fumble was the Texans’ fourth forced turnover of the preseason.
