Barnett beat left tackle Tyler Guyton for a strip-sack of Cooper Rush. Guyton picked up the fumble, and Pitre stripped Guyton of the ball.
Barnett picked up the loose ball and scampered to the end zone.
The 28-yard touchdown gave the Texans a 27-10 lead with 12:31 left.
Barnett made up for his penalty, a head slap on Brandon Aubrey’s 64-yard field goal attempt, earlier in the second half. The Cowboys took the points off the board, took the 15-yard penalty, and ended up getting nothing out of the drive.
On fourth-and-2 at the Houston 8, Rush threw incomplete.
Rush now has two turnovers, having also thrown an interception.
