Ex-Cowboys, Week 5: Hitchens, Scandrick pull up Chiefs’ D, Bailey seals Vikes’ win

It’s an odd-numbered week in the NFL, which meant that the Cowboys were due for another loss.

This time, the defeat came at the hands of the Houston Texans in overtime.

Head coach Jason Garrett and quarterback Dak Prescott, as well as the team’s receivers, could not get things going on offense, even though linebackers Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch, as well as the defense played well against the Texans’ offense.

But several former members of the Cowboys had strong performances during Week 5 of the NFL season.
