Houston, TX, October 2, 2026 — The Houston Texans, currently standing at an 0-3 record, are preparing to host the Dallas Cowboys in a Week 4 NFL game. This matchup is being highlighted as a pivotal moment for the Texans’ season, especially given historical data on teams that have started their season with a similar win-loss record.
The Texans face an uphill battle, as teams beginning a season with zero wins and three losses have historically encountered significant challenges in turning their season around.
Several key personnel updates are anticipated for the Texans. Wide receiver Nico Collins is a player to watch, with a potential return to the field for this game. However, the team will be without linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, who is listed as absent.
In addition to the on-field action, the game will feature a special halftime event. The organization plans to celebrate 25 years of Texans football during the break, marking a significant anniversary for the franchise.
The Dallas Cowboys enter the contest with a 1-2 record. The full implications of player statuses and the exact details of the halftime celebration were not provided in the summary.
