Texans Versus Cowboys: Who Will Win the Governor's Cup?
by Stephanie Stradley
This Saturday's game in Houston between the Texans and Cowboys has been billed as the Governor's Cup. Usually, even in situations of just preseason state bragging rights, these games get fairly spirited. (More so with the fans when there is lot of prime drinking time at the tailgates prior to the game).
Something is gotta give. In the first two preseason games, both Texans quarterbacks Matt Schaub and Sage Rosenfels haven't got sacked. In the most recent game the Cowboys played against the Broncos, some of the Broncos are claiming that the Cowboys broke the unwritten rule of the preseason by game planning and blitzing every play.
The third preseason game is typically when teams play their starters the longest and plan their week more like the regular season. The Texans offense has similar elements to the Broncos for the Cowboys game prep, and many on the Texans coaching staff have a close relationship with the Broncos (or are actually related, like Houston quarterback coach Kyle Shanahan, son of Denver head coach Mike).
So any game predictions? Close or non-close game? Clean game or unfair sportsmanship? Or do you not care at all other than hoping your team gets through a preseason game with no injuries?
