Amari Cooper: The Highs and Lows

Amari Cooper Close to 100 Percent, Hopes to Play vs Texans

Amari Cooper is coming off of one of his best seasons in the NFL in 2020. Despite Dak Prescott missing 11 games and the offensive line of the Dallas Cowboys putting 13 different combinations on the field, Cooper set a career-high with 92 receptions and had his fifth 1,000-yard campaign in six seasons. Cooper had a …

Mike McCarthy: “Good Chance” Dak Prescott Does Not Play Vs. Texans

The Dallas Cowboys third preseason game on Saturday may not look like the typical dress rehearsal that teams use this game for.

5 Cowboys Players who Earned a Roster Spot Against the Texans

5 Cowboys Players who Earned a Roster Spot Against the Texans

The Dallas Cowboys “dress rehearsal” game Saturday night against the Houston Texans couldn’t have gone any better if it had been scripted. The 34-0 shellacking was awfully impressive, but this game had much more meaning than what the final score was. It was yet another chance to evaluate the roster ahead of the fourth and final …

Cowboys' Tight End Marcus Lucas with Huge Opportunity vs the Houston Texans

Cowboys’ Tight End Marcus Lucas with Huge Opportunity vs the Houston Texans

With only two preseason games remaining, opportunities to make a statement are growing thin. The Dallas Cowboys have very few spots on the roster available, especially at the tight end position where Jason Witten, Blake Jarwin, and Dalton Schultz appear to have the depth chart locked down. The problem is, Jarwin and Schultz have been dealing …

Jourdan Lewis Makes the Most of Extended Playing Time Vs. Texans

Jourdan Lewis Makes the Most of Extended Playing Time Vs. Texans

Dallas Cowboys Cornerback Jourdan Lewis had played just two snaps in Kris Richard’s defense through the first four weeks of this season, but was able to step up against the Texans on 33 snaps – defending the slot once Anthony Brown moved out wide to replace Chidobe Awuzie. It had been Brown’s high level of play …

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly for Cowboys against Texans

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly for Cowboys against Texans

The Dallas Cowboys put up a good fight in the in-state battle against the Houston Texans, but unfortunately have to surrender any kind of bragging rights they had hoped to obtain. It was definitely a tough pill to swallow to see the game end the way it did in overtime, but then again, getting blown out …

Texans' Passing Game Provides Another Test For Young Cowboys Secondary

Texans’ Passing Game Provides Another Test For Young Cowboys Secondary

Entering the 2018 season, there was a ton of excitement surrounding the Dallas Cowboys secondary. With the hiring of Kris Richard, and the promise of cornerbacks Byron Jones, Chidobe Awuzie, and Jourdan Lewis, there was certainly reason to pay close attention to their defensive backfield. Through the first two weeks, the excitement was justified (unless we’re …

Where the Cowboys have an Advantage Over the Texans

On Sunday night, the Lone Star State will be on full display. The Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans only play each other once every four seasons (not counting preseason) and the entire state shows out for it.

The Dallas Cowboys will begin a tough run of games this week in Houston, facing the Texans on Sunday Night Football. Over the next three weeks, Dallas will be put the test as they try to stay above .500 before their Week 8 bye. There’s some positive momentum with the Cowboys coming off last week’s victory …

Zeke the Freak Tames Lions – Texans Up Next

Through the first three weeks of the season the Cowboys’ offense had been unimaginative at best as Head Coach Jason Garrett and Offensive Coordinator Scott Linehan had designed offensive attacks that more closely resembled mild affronts. The absences of Dez Bryant and Jason Witten have clearly impacted the passing game, or lack thereof, in Dallas but …

Cowboys 2018 Roster Projection: Preseason Week 3

Cowboys Should Let QB Mike White Start Preseason Finale VS Texans

The Dallas Cowboys’ poor performance against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday wasn’t exactly helped by the team’s backup quarterbacks who combined for three interceptions on the night. Cooper Rush’s early pick six to Patrick Peterson certainly didn’t help Cowboys Nation remain calm. As it’s bound to happen when you play under the lights of America’s Team …
