Dallas Cowboys face Houston Texans in Week 4 matchup

The Dallas Cowboys face the Houston Texans in a Week 4 matchup as both teams attempt to recover from poor starts to the season. The Cowboys enter the game with a 1-2 record following a loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil, while the Texans sit at 0-3.

For Houston, the primary challenge has been offensive consistency. Despite quarterback C.J. Stroud throwing for 794 yards without an interception through three games, the team has struggled to score, averaging only 54 points so far. The Texans' rushing attack has also struggled, averaging only 84.7 yards per game.

Key defensive factors for the matchup include the Texans' pass rush, led by Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter. Dallas will need to protect quarterback Dak Prescott to avoid pressure from Houston's defensive front. Conversely, the Cowboys will look to capitalize on any mistakes made by Stroud to improve their standing in the NFC East.
