Monday’s MLS recognition highlights Kaick’s rare two-way attacking value: he can help create a goal, then become the player who finishes the next one.
The Cowboys lost two fumbles in Indianapolis, but the first handed the Colts a touchdown while the second was softened by a defensive recovery before it could become seven points.
Tayven Jackson rushed for 2 net yards and two touchdowns, but his 303 passing yards and zero interceptions gave North Texas control in a 52-23 victory over Rice.

Wyatt Johnston turned an Ivan Provorov giveaway into the rebound chance Mikko Rantanen finished, extending his point streak in Dallas’ 2-1 shootout loss.
Naji Marshall helped Dallas erase a 19-point deficit, but his turnover five seconds after a block and rebound showed why overall security and closing possession value are judged differently.
Dallas converted first, before the intermission could reset the game. Washington later scored twice with the advantage, but timing made those goals serve a different purpose.

Jonathan Sirois stopped André Luiz three times as FC Dallas drew Sporting Kansas City 1-1, preserving a winning chance that Dallas’ attack never fully converted.

Anderson Julio added an attacking option and missed narrowly in the 78th minute, but FC Dallas had already fallen 0-2 to Columbus before his 14 regulation minutes began.
The Stars’ failed early interference challenge imposed a penalty, but New Jersey’s 5-1 win was built on five even-strength goals Dallas cannot pin on one ruling.
The Cowboys overcame Tyler Goodson’s erased 91-yard kickoff return and two costly defensive penalties, yet needed far more work than necessary to put away the Eagles.
FC Dallas beat San Jose 3-0 after creating the better chances for most of the night, but Petar Musa and Santiago Moreno waited until late to make the scoreline look simple.
Daniel Gafford scored four points in 14:36, but five assists helped Dallas turn an early offensive rebound into a 121-105 win over Indiana.
Vilardi and Connor reversed the score in 108 seconds. Dallas’ eventual overtime victory leaves two different defensive problems to correct.
Christie and Risacher struggled from outside in Houston. Risacher’s five steals show why the evaluation needs room for more than one job.
Max Christie completed Tuesday’s practice, yet Caleb Martin’s thumb injury and Jett Howard’s late calf designation leave Dallas sorting options rather than settling its perimeter rotation before Houston.
The Mavericks passed on extending Dallas-born guard Marcus Sasser, leaving his 41.5% 3-point shooting to compete with a modest prior workload for influence in Dallas.
The Cowboys’ second-quarter interceptions were costly because the Packers turned both into controlled scoring drives: one ended in a field goal, the other in a touchdown.
Houston briefly had three points and Dallas none. Musa’s late equalizer split them again, leaving a 2-2 draw with earlier opportunities still worth examining.
