Official Texans @ Cardinals Game Thread, 11/10/2013
 

The 2-6 Texans travel to Arizona to take on the 4-4 Cardinals in a late Sunday afternoon game. Arizona is coming off a bye and should be well rested. The week before their bye, the Cardinals defeated the Atlanta Falcons 27-13 at home. The Texans are coming off a 27-24 home loss to the Colts on SNF.
