A captivating contest is set to unfold in Texas as the Cowboys prepare to face off against the Houston Texans at AT&T Stadium on Monday Night Football. This matchup promises to be a thrilling encounter, showcasing the rivalry between the two Lone Star State teams.
In its previous encounter in 2022, the Cowboys emerged victorious with a narrow 27-23 win over the Texans. Historically, Dallas has maintained an edge in the rivalry, holding a 4-2 advantage since their first meeting in 2002.
However, the Cowboys face significant hurdles this season, currently holding a record of (3-6). To keep their postseason aspirations alive, Dallas must achieve at least seven wins. The team’s offense must perform effectively, while the run defense looks to step up to ensure a successful outcome.
On the other hand, the Texans, with a record of (6-4), aim to maintain its winning momentum and secure a playoff berth for the second consecutive year. Its defense, characterized by a talented front seven, excels at applying pressure, which could create difficulties for the Cowboys, particularly given its struggles in the running game.
Quarterback CJ Stroud will seek to involve receivers Collins and Dell early in the game. Running back Joe Mixon, one of the league’s top running backs this season, adds another dimension to the Texans’ offensive strategy.
