Cowboys prepare for Texans, leveraging Bills' offensive strategy for Week 4
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are set to face the Houston Texans in Week 4 of the NFL season. To combat the Texans' strong pass rush led by Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, the Cowboys may adopt a strategy similar to that of the Buffalo Bills. The Bills had success using heavier tight-end packages in their earlier match against the Texans, which helped to reduce the number of sacks and pressures. Dallas tight ends Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford, and Luke Schoonmaker could play pivotal roles in this approach. Effective use of the run game and tight ends may allow the Cowboys to create more favorable matchups in the passing game, particularly with standout receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
