The 3-6 Dallas Cowboys have been struggling at home all season and that continued in Week 11 as they hosted the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football.

Dallas fell behind quickly with Houston scoring on a 77-yard opening drive that took just 2:18. They avoided giving up another score when Malik Hooker recorded a pick but gave the ball right back.

A couple of first downs gave them hope but then Cooper Rush was picked off on third-and-eight while trying to hit CeeDee Lamb. But Peyton Manning wasn't ready to blame Rush for the turnover.

While watching the replay on ManningCast, the Hall of Famer said Lamb ran right into the safety, ruining the "anticipatory throw."

Peyton Manning breaks down the Cooper Rush INT after the commercial break.

"I'm kinda putting that on CeeDee (Lamb) to get a little deeper and come around the horn. It's an anticipatory throw." #NFL #MNF #ManningCast 🏈🎙️ https://t.co/uBAaeS4YWT pic.twitter.com/p8F2yFU0T3
