"With the Dallas Cowboys handing business on Thanksgiving day, we have a weekend full of football that does not include us stressing about this football team. After back-to-back wins over the Eagles and the Chiefs, they were the first team since 2016 to beat the two teams that made the Super Bowl the year before in consecutive weeks. Doing so put them at 6-5-and-1, and now right in the thick of the NFC playoff picture."
"In what might shape up to be the best finish for the division winner, the Colts and the Texans who get CJ Stroud back is probably the best game of the weekend. The Colts lead the AFC South by only a game over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the Texans are right on the heels of them both with a 6-5 record and a win over the Colts would set them up nicely as we enter the last month of the regular season."
"Houston entered last Thursday with the No. 1 ranked unit in the NFL, allowing only 258.1 yards per game. Their defensive line is a force and Buffalo's offensive line was not up to the task by any means. Texans pass rushers Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson might be the best duo in football. They combined for 4.5 sacks, giving Hunter 11 on the year and Anderson 10.5. Anderson is a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year contender."
The Dallas Cowboys sit at 6-5-1 after consecutive wins over the Eagles and Chiefs, becoming the first team since 2016 to beat the two prior Super Bowl participants in back-to-back weeks, and they now occupy a meaningful spot in the NFC playoff picture. The weekend schedule is described as generally sleepy, with a few standout matchups identified. The Houston Texans versus Indianapolis Colts game is highlighted due to CJ Stroud returning, a close AFC South race, and the Texans boasting the NFL's top-ranked defense. The Texans' defensive line and the Hunter–Anderson duo receive specific praise. Cleveland Browns versus San Francisco 49ers is also mentioned as a decent game a Cowboys fan will watch.
