The highlight, of course, came last weekend on CeeDee Lamb's 21-target, 17-catch eruption. The Cowboys moved Lamb all over the formation, pushing him repeatedly onto linebackers and nickel safeties; seven of those catches came from the slot.

Lamb's 21-17 eruption shows Texans' scheme vulnerability to formation movement.

Lamb erupted with 21 targets and 17 catches against Houston last weekend. The Texans' man-coverage dominance relies on cornerbacks Derek Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lassiter, but the Cowboys schemed Lamb all over the formation, pushing him repeatedly onto linebackers and nickel safeties; seven catches came from the slot. When Lamb drew Lassiter directly, he dominated with 8 catches for 136 yards on 11 targets, suggesting the Texans look far less dependable if a shootout breaks out or if a clever offense schemes away from their strengths.
