Every Texas Team

This week's story: The Cowboys let another one slip — up 17-3 late in the third, they fell 33-30 in overtime to the Cardinals. That's the third home collapse of the year, and coach Brian Schottenheimer's taking the heat: "It starts with me." The math's getting thin: the Giants lead the NFC East at 4-2-1, and Dallas hasn't strung back-to-back wins together all season. Sunday at Indianapolis is close to a must-have.

This week's story: The Texans opened 0-4 for the first time since 2020 — a long fall from last year's 12-5 — and it included a Week 4 heartbreaker to the Cowboys, 34-30. The AFC South hasn't done them any favors, and every week's become a repair job. Still, Houston's got time: the division's beatable, but the margin's gone.

This week's story: The Rockets came out firing — a 6-1 start had the whole league asking if Houston's a real Finals sleeper. Then the Mavericks got 'em, 116-111 on Oct 30, in the first rivalry night of the year. Even in the loss, the Rockets showed what this season is: no more rebuild talk, straight contention.

This week's story: Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving put on a show in the 116-111 win over Houston — the kind of night that makes you believe the Mavs are building something real around the kid.

This week's story: The offseason's quiet time — but it's also when rosters get built. The Rangers' front office is working the phones on pitching while the rest of us count down to spring training in Surprise. This is the front-office season, and it decides next October.

This week's story: Another offseason at the top of the food chain — the Astros' front office is in its annual mode: keep the core, patch the edges, and run it back. Houston's been in the October picture so long it's just the calendar now. February can't get here fast enough.
