Houston Texans Depth Chart
Hello and welcome to another edition of 'Live Blogging on Shish on Professional Football'. Tonight it is the Dallas Cowboys taking on Houston Texans. The Cowboys come in with a record of 2-2, while the Texans come in with a record of 1-3.

If NFL does natural rivalries the way MLB does theirs, this interconference would be one of them. This is the battle of the Lone Star State. Not as storied as Texas/Texas A&M was, but is a Texas football clash.

The Cowboys are coming off a victory over the Lions, last week. While the Texans are coming off an overtime victory over Indianapolis Colts.

The Cowboys are led by Quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott has completed 61.7 % of his passes, 3.5 % of his passes are touchdowns, while 1.7 % are interceptions, on 6.5 yards/attempt, for a QB Rating of 85.2. Offensively the Cowboys are 30th in points and passing yards, 27th in total yards, and 4th in rushing. Their running game is led by NFL's leading rusher Ezekiel Elliott. Defensively the Cowboys are 7th in points allowed, 5th in total yards, 6th in passing yards, but 12th in run defense. Their turnover/takeaway is -2.

Meanwhile the Texans are led by Quarterback DeShaun Watson. Watson has completed 62.2 % of his passes, 4.7 % of his passes are touchdowns, while 2.7 % of the passes are interceptions. He averages 8.2 yards/attempt. All of those stats help in giving him a QB Rating of 93.5. Offensively the Texans are 15th in points, 5th in total yards, 11th in passing, and 9th in rushing. Defensively they are 20th in points allowed, 21st in total yards, 27th against the pass, and 9th against the run. Their turnover/takeaway is -1.

It is Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans, coming up shortly.

Final Thoughts:
This was a defensive slugfest, in the Lone Star Defense. Cowboys showed that they may have the league's best goal line defense, but Deshaun Watson, Deandre Hopkins, and the Texans were too much for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys will be at home against the Jaguars. While the Texans will be at home against Bills.
