Let’s start with the disclaimers. First, it was a single preseason game. The Cowboys and Texans who will decide each team’s 2019 fortunes either sat out completely or barely saw the field Saturday night. Second, the Houston Texans’ offensive line is bad, like criminally bad (something DeShaun Watson is going to be thinking every time he drops back). Third, it was a single preseason game - this cannot be stressed enough as rarely do such games reveal the true character or makeup of either team.
Having said all that, there are lots of reasons for Cowboys fans to be excited about what the defense accomplished last night.
