Official Texans vs. Cowboys Game Thread, 9/26/2010

Both teams threaten but neither one scores. Texans are leaving Butler on island against Ware so far. Butler did okay, even with that sack. Schaub didn't throw and then tried to run. That was a coverage sack.

F Jones runs for 7 up the middle. 2nd and 3 coming up.

F Jones for no gain. Nice tackle Adibi. 3rd and 3 coming up.

Pass to Bennett just short of the 1st down - about 2 yards. Cowboys to punt.

JJ 6 yards on the return, brings the punt back to the Texan 29.

[Arky]

2:25 left in the 1st quarter.

Pass to OD goes inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Foster for 3. 3rd and 7 coming up.

Pass to JJ good for nice gain but flags on the play.... Offsides Cowboys is declined. 1st down Texans.

Foster rushes for 11. Ball at the Cowboys 44.

Slaton for -2. 2nd and 12 coming up.

End of 1st quarter.

[HPF Bob]

The Slaton run had no chance. Dallas shifted to that side at the last second like they knew what was coming.

[HPF Bob]

Wow. How demoralizing to give up a first-down run on 3rd and 19.

[Arky]

Foster hits the right side for about 1. 2nd and goal at the 5.

Pre-snap flag. False start Butler -5. Ball at the 10, now.

Schaub's pass over KW in the endzone. Brings up 3rd and goal at the 10.

Dump to Foster gets 4. Texans to go for the FG.

24 yarder by Rackers is good.

Texans 3, Cowboys 0

[HPF Bob]

We got three out of drive that should have ended in a punt so I'm okay but a TD would have really got the crowd into the game.

[Arky]

False start Winston pre-snap. Brings up 2nd and 17.

Screen to Foster sniffed out -2. Brings up 3rd and 19.

Delay to Foster gets 20 and a 1st down!

Slaton for no gain. 2nd and 10 coming up at the Cowboy 32.

Flat pass AJ drags people all the way to the 6! 1st and goal.

[HPF Bob]

Nice stop. Bryant goes off limping for Dallas. JJ took the wrong return angle but we survive with a second shot at getting the lead. We've proven we can run and we can throw so we just need to relax and put it all together.
