Cowboys tight end confident team can move forward with Trey Lance, Cooper Rush
Jake Ferguson stops by Sports Seriously to chat all things Dallas Cowboys. He also discusses his USAA partnership.
Everything’s bigger in Texas, including the stakes of the “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans in Week 11, albeit, for very different reasons.
The Cowboys‘ playoffs hopes are all but kaput following Dak Prescott’s season-ending hamstring injury, which happened during the Cowboys’ Week 9 loss to the Falcons. Prescott’s injury now puts the criticisms of the Cowboys and their shortcomings firmly on head coach Mike McCarthy.
While Prescott’s injury has afforded McCarthy a built-in excuse to avoid some of those criticisms, Dallas (3-6) is coming off a 34-6 drubbing at the talons of the Eagles. That’s the latest, complete systematic failure for a team that was expected to compete for the NFC crown this year.
On the other sideline, the Texans haven’t been as stellar as last year, but C.J. Stroud still has helped guide Houston to a 6-4 record and the top step in the AFC South. What’s more: Houston will have wide receiver Nico Collins returning to the fold, who was a top target for Stroud before his hamstring injury turned out to be a lengthy recovery.
Now, the Texans must gear up to cling to their AFC South hopes and get right before a potential playoff push as the 2024 NFL seasons enters its championship rounds.
