Come talk about Monday Night Football.
Monday Night Football will be showcasing the battle for Texas as the Dallas Cowboys host the Houston Texans.
The Cowboys will be dealing with playing without quarterback Dak Prescott, who is on injured reserve with a partially torn hamstring.
That will be a huge hit to the offense. Their passing offense is 10th in yards per game, but their rushing offense is the second worst in the same category. A lot of pressure will be on backup quarterback Cooper Rush.
The Texans are very much a playoff team at 6-4. That was expected of them. They just really haven’t looked as good as some people expected. A hot young team last season that added some valuable veterans at positions of need. Some people expected them to be up there with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC.
That isn’t to say this team can’t still get hot, and a get-right game against a deflated Cowboys team could go a long way toward getting right.
