Garrett's OT choice speaks to Cowboys' sputtering offense

FRISCO, Texas (AP) -- ��� Jason Garrett decided to trust his defense by punting on a short fourth down in Houston territory in an overtime loss to the Texans. The choice by the Dallas coach also said a lot about a sputtering offense that simply hasn't looked good enough to get the Cowboys where they want to go in 2018, even with NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott. Moments after Elliott was stuffed on third-and-1 from the Texans 42 closing in on the halfway mark of the 10-minute extra period, Garrett opted not to try it again on a night that his best offensive player was averaging just 2.7 yards per carry.
