Gilers Fall To Cowboys In Rain At Rice Stadium
Houston's Gilers put in a mighty effort at Rice Stadium but fell 30 to 3 to the Dallas Cowboys, Eastern Conference champions of 1966. Dallas dominated despite poor weather, the Oilers’ lack of a professional quarterback crippling their offense while the Cowboys moved to a 27 3 lead before reserves played. Jaceky Lee sparked a late Houston rally, but the Dallas defense and a subpar Don Trull doomed Houston's hopes.
