LOS ANGELES -- Joe Mixon scored a hat-trick of touchdowns as the Houston Texans romped to a 34-10 victory over the crisis-stricken Dallas Cowboys on Monday.Running back Mixon rushed over for two first-quarter touchdowns to give Houston an early 14-0 lead that laid the foundation for an easy win.Mixon then added a third touchdown in the fourth quarter to deepen the gloom that has swirled around the Cowboys, one of the most iconic franchises in the NFL.&quot;I just try to do whatever I can to be the best player and the best team-mate that I know I am,&quot; Mixon told ESPN.&quot;I want to try and put the team on my back and make that run and lead us to the promised land,&quot; added Mixon, who finished with 109 rushing yards from 20 carries.Hours before kickoff the Cowboys were given a scare when a large sheet of metal from the ceiling of their $1.3 billion AT&amp;T Stadium plunged to the field as the venue&#x27;s retractable roof was opened for the first time since 2022.That incident was seized upon by many commentators as emblematic of the Cowboys&#x27; wretched season, which after Monday&#x27;s loss has left them at 3-7, without a home win and without any realistic chance of reaching the playoffs.Cowboys&#x27; billionaire owner Jerry Jones was at a loss to explain the reasons behind his team&#x27;s six-game home losing streak.&quot;I don&#x27;t know that there&#x27;s anything beyond the obvious -- and that is we just aren&#x27;t playing very well,&quot; Jones told reporters.Dallas did manage to raise a cheer from their home fans when KaVontae Turpin gathered a 64-yard pass from Cooper Rush to score a second-quarter touchdown that made it 14-7.Texans kicker Ka&#x27;Imi Fairbairn and Dallas counterpart Brandon Aubrey traded field goals to leave Texas 17-10 ahead at half-time.Fairbairn then extended Houston&#x27;s lead to 10 points with his second field goal in the third quarter to make it 20-10.But the wheels then fell off for Dallas in the fourth quarter, Houston&#x27;s Derek Barnett galloping 28 yards into the end zone for a touchdown after a comical Cowboys blunder that saw them manage to fumble twice on the same play.That made it 27-10 and the Cowboys&#x27; miserable night continued when quarterback Rush was sacked for the fifth time as Dallas turned over on downs and Houston took over to set up Mixon&#x27;s final touchdown.<div>© Agence France-Presse</div><div> </div>
