Four things to watch for in Sunday's Texans game with Mills back as QB.
Because of the way the NFL schedule works, with AFC teams only playing NFC teams once every four years on a regular rotation, the Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys have only faced each other five times in games that count. It may feel like more, because of the regularity with which they meet in the preseason, but it has been just five times.
Therein lies part of the rub on the age old debate as to whether or not the series between the Texans and the Cowboys constitutes a rivalry. The term"rivalry," in sports parlance, comes with a lot of subjectivity, but I have a hard time applying the"rivalry" label to a series where teams meet once every presidential term. Also, I'm not exactly certain how much the players even internalize the rivalry scuttlebutt.
In the end, the extent of the rivalry between the Texans and the Cowboys seems to be based largely on the fact that both cities are conditioned to despise the other for a slew of reasons that have very little to do with football. In other words, the Cowboys are just one more thing from Dallas that disgusts us as Houstonians. I have a hard time labeling that a fervent sports rivalry.
Now that we've solved that bit of important business, it's onto Sunday's game in Arlington, in which the Cowboys are the largest favorite of the 2022 season thus far, with a 16.5 spread on the game. Let's see if we can conjure up a few things to watch for in what experts believe will be a massive blowout:This will be a real text for just how bad the traveling contingent in the Texans' fan base want to push things in what's become a lost season.
