Official Texans vs. Cowboys Game Thread, 10/7/2018

[Arky]

The 1-3 Texans will host the 2-2 Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football this weekend. For the Texans, it is an excellent opportunity to say, "we're not done, yet" because if they take another loss, it may very well be over.

The Cowboys have beaten the Lions and the Giants - lost to the Panthers and Seahawks. Although 30th in the league in passing offense, the Cowboys rank 4th in rushing offense so, expect to see a heavy dose of Ezekiel Elliot. Cowboys are 3-1 all time vs. the Texans. Both teams are 1-3 ATS this season.

Some will say "it's a long season" to dismiss the Texan's poor start but at some point, you've got to get going. Sunday night, the Texans can make a statement as to where they fit in going forward....
