Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans to Face Off in Monday Night Football Showdown
Cowboys Seek Redemption After Loss, Texans Aim to Continue Winning Streak
The Dallas Cowboys will host the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football in a highly anticipated matchup. The Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Texans are riding a two-game winning streak.
Cowboys Offense Struggles in Loss
The Cowboys' offense struggled mightily in their loss to the Buccaneers, failing to score a touchdown. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw two interceptions, and the running game was held to just 85 yards.
Texans Defense Shines in Victory
In contrast, the Texans' defense has been playing well, holding their last two opponents to a combined 20 points. Defensive end J.J. Watt has been a force, recording three sacks in those games.
Key Matchups to Watch
Several key matchups will be worth watching in this game, including:
- Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott vs. Texans defense
- Texans running back Dameon Pierce vs. Cowboys defense
- Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb vs. Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.
Prediction
The Texans are a slight favorite in this game, but the Cowboys are always a tough opponent at home. The outcome could hinge on the play of Prescott and the Cowboys' offense. If the Cowboys can get their offense going, they have the firepower to win the game. However, if the Texans' defense can continue to play well, they should be able to pull out the victory.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN at 8:15 p.m. ET.
