Houston Texans: Fighting for a roster spot

The final preseason game is tonight as the Houston Texans travel to Arlington to face their in-state rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. It’s a yearly battle, as the two teams meet in every preseason that doesn’t have them facing one another in the regular season.

The Texas teams have met 11 times now, with the Cowboys holding a 6-5 edge in the fight for the Governor’s Cup. The preseason however is a little more friendly to Houston, as they lead the exhibition match ups 4-3.

For some players though, bragging rights and team rivalries mean little as they are out to fight for something even bigger, a spot on the final roster.
