when do the dallas cowboys and the houston texans play
Governor's Cup (Texas) Since the very first meeting between the Cowboys and Texans in 2002 the two teams have met in the regular season every fourth year and meet relatively often (by NFL standards) in the preseason; from 2002 until 2008 and again since 2013, the Cowboys and Texans have been scheduled to play each other in the preseason whenever they are not scheduled to meet in the regular season. In 2010, the teams played both a pre-season and regular season game while in 2009, 2011 and 2012 they did not meet at all. The 2017 preseason game, scheduled to be played in Houston, was cancelled due to Hurricane Harvey.
2016 Dallas Cowboys season After losing their first game to the New York Giants, the Cowboys won 11 straight games. The streak ended with them losing again to the Giants in week 14, making this the first time since 2011 that the Giants would sweep the Cowboys. With division rivals Washington Redskins losing to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13, the Cowboys clinched a playoff berth after missing the playoffs the previous year.[1] Following the Giants' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, the Cowboys became NFC East champions for the second time in three years and clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs for the first time since 2007. The 13â€“3 record is tied for the best record in team history, which was also set in 1992 and 2007. But despite having the NFC's top seed as well as home-field advantage, the Cowboys lost in the divisional round of the playoffs to the Green Bay Packers by a score of 34-31, ending their season. This was also QB Tony Romo's last season in the NFL, as he announced his retirement on April 4, 2017.
