Houston Texans sideline analyst John Harris breaks down the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14.

When Houston plays Dallas, it matters that much more to Houstonians.

When the Astros beat the Rangers, there’s a little more pep in Houstonians’ steps

When the Rockets knock off the Mavericks, there’s a little more chest thumping than usual.

When the Texans beat the Cowboys, there’s a bit more celebrating like in 2018.

When these two cities’ teams take the field, it just matters that much more to the great people in our city. So, let’s gear up for another matchup with the Cowboys, just the sixth regular season matchup in the history of the Texans franchise.

This one, though, is the toughest one for the Texans to date. The Cowboys are coming off of a 54-19 beatdown of the Colts on Sunday night. It was a game in which the Cowboys scored 33 points in the fourth quarter. To put that in perspective, the Texans haven’t scored more than 24 points in a game all season. Now, the Colts put it on a platter for them with four turnovers in a mess of a fourth quarter. But, the Cowboys have averaged 37.5 points a game after their Bye Week in Week 9. Four games, 3-1 in those games, scoring a total of 150 points.

QB Dak Prescott drives the Dallas machine, but he has plenty of help with the best RB duo in the league, a top five WR and a top ten OL in front of him. The Dallas defense is as deep and athletic as any the Texans will face in 2022. LB Micah Parsons is the frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year in the NFL and he’s just in his second season in the league. Although he’s the key cog in that defensive machine, there are DUDES at every level of the defense. So, yeah, the biggest challenge the Texans have faced this year is staring them in the face on Sunday for sure.

Four years after the last time, which was four years after the previous time, well, okay, you know the rest, get to Know the Texans’ Week 14 Foe – the Dallas Cowboys.
