Game News
After missing Houston's past five games due to a hamstring injury, Texans WR Nico Collins is considered a full go for tonight's game vs. the Cowboys, with no play-time restrictions.
Texans activated DB Jeff Okudah off injured reserve and on to their active roster for tonight's game against the Cowboys.
Danielle Hunter generated 10 pressures & 2 sacks on 46 pass rushes against Dallas, with 9 of his pressures coming against RT Terence Steele. Through Week 11, Hunter leads the NFL with 72 pressures, 15 more than the next closest player (Trey Hendrickson). #HOUvsDAL | #HTownMade pic.x.com/nO8HL9c97o
Good job, Derek Barnett. Prevented three points for the Cowboys with that head slap. He knew what he was doing.
Jalen Pitre has played a damn good, physical game. Sic 'Em!
RT: Derek Stingley Jr. Tonight: 5 Targets 1 Catch 8 Yards 1 INT 2 PBUs 0.0 Passer Rating when Targeted CB1 in the league. https://t.co/3UTNFPT5fL
RT: .@HoustonTexans defensive lineman Dylan Horton opens up to @reevewill about his Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and his return to the field after becoming cancer-free: "Kind of going through the situation definitely allows you to understand that life is bigger than football." https://t.co/ulxc9V5Ll2
The Houston Texans were all too happy to discover they were mining a diamond in the rough. All it took was the arrival of rookie quarterback CJ Stroud and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik in 2023 to uncover the massive potential of 2021 third-round wideout Nico Collins.
After two pedestrian seasons, Collins turned in an 80-catch, 1,296-receiving yard and eight touchdown campaign in the much ballyhooed third season of his career. The Texans went out and added Stefon Diggs this offseason and the attention he demanded vaulted Collins into a league-leading 113 yard-per-game stratosphere
The Houston Texans are nearing full strength with the return of linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and wide receiver Nico Collins entering Week 11’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on ‘Monday Night Football.’
Even without Will Anderson, Houston should be content with its pass rush at AT&T Stadium on primetime. That could be because of the return of defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr.
Will the veteran defensive tackle be cleared to play on Monday night? Here’s the final update entering AT&T Stadiu
Dallas (3-6) rides a four-game losing streak into a matchup with Houston (6-4) on Monday, November 18, 2024 at AT&T Stadium. The Texans are significant favorites in this one, with the spread posted at 7 points. An over/under of 41 points has been set for the outing.
Last time out, the Texans fell to the Detroit Lions, with 26-23 being the final score.
In that game versus the Lions, Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 19 of 33 passes for 232 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions.
The Cowboys lost versus the Philadelphia Eagles in their last game, 34-6
The Houston Texans scored two touchdowns on the opening drive at AT&T Stadium, but only one counted.
Running back Joe Mixon continued his strong start to his first season with the Texans and broke free for a 45-yard touchdown run.

Houston scored on its opening play, looking to get Nico Collins involved early. Collins returned from a five-game hiatus due to a hamstring injury. He took a screen pass to the end zone, but Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil was downfield, so the play was brought back

Cowboys now have ruled out Jake Ferguson.
@AdamSchefter: Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson is being evaluated for a concussion.
KaVontae Turpin reached a top speed of 22.36 mph on his 64-yard TD reception, the fastest speed by a ball carrier this season, and the fastest play by a Cowboys ball carrier in the NGS era (since 2016). Powered by @awscloud pic.x.com/WcqmWnPiwv
RT: After dealing with a shoulder injury, #Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb popped up on injury report with a back injury this weekend and was listed as questionable. A team source tells me "everything right now is pointing for him to play" I'll have more from AT&T stadium later today
Brandon Aubrey missed a 40-yard field goal, That is not a typo ? pic.x.com/yeqAEoaUie
Dallas' Rico Dowdle has 28 yards on 10 carries. That's actually better than expected (+5 yards RYOE) Overall, his 2.3 expected rush yards per carry would rank as the third lowest of any ball carrier in a game this year (min 10 carries), per @NextGenStats pic.x.com/Rtss6X8hC0
RT: Remember when Brandin Cooks said this: "I'm not looking at it as far as being a part of a rebuild, however that looks," Cooks said, via ESPN. "That's why I trust my camp and my representation to be able to get a map from here to there and to see what that looks like to be a part of something that has a trusted plan."
RT: And Tyler Guyton is on sidelines now...Asim Richards in at LT #Cowboys
For as maddening as it’s been stealing carries from Rico Dowdle in 2024, the side-by-side comparison of Ezekiel Elliott and Dowdle has given the Cowboys a nice picture of what each player adds to the running game.
Running backs are a difficult position to evaluate in the NFL. Average yards per carry, cumulative totals and yards after contact have been common ways to grade RB efficiency in the past but they can be dated and often misleading in nature. Expected points added (EPA) has properly valuated the impact of each run better than yards/carry could ever dream of, but much like the others it has a hard time differentiating between RB impact and offensive line ability
