The Texans vs Cowboys live stream puts quarterback battles at the forefront

The Texans vs Cowboys live stream catches two teams in the midst of some intense quarterback competitions. One team is looking for a starter, while the other is using this NFL live stream to find someone to hold down the fort for the time being.

With Dak still on the mend, Dallas will have round three of its QB battle between Garrett Gilbert and Cooper Rush. Gilbert started his second straight game of the preseason last week against the Cardinals. He threw for 80 yards on 7-of-16 passing. Rush came in midway through the second quarter and completed 7-of-13 passing for 89 yards. Neither has established themselves as the leader for the second-string QB job behind Dak when the regular season rolls around.The Cowboys know once Dak Prescott is healthy he will retake the reins as the teams starter. Unfortunately for Dallas, they will have to wait to see how Dak bounces back from a broken ankle that ended his season in week five last year and as well as see how his shoulder heals from a sprain suffered in training camp. Cowboys’ head coach Mike McCarthy told reports this week, “There’s a good chance [Dak] doesn’t play against the Texans.” He went on to say, “There’s no urgency to see Dak play in Houston. We don’t want to create a setback.”

The Texans have their own quarterback problems and that’s only referencing what’s going on with them on the field. Deshaun Watson’s status is still uncertain for the season, as he's facing more than 20 civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and misconduct. Tyrod Taylor and third-round pick Davis Mills are looking to take over as the team’s starter.

Taylor started last week for the Texans, completing all four of his passes for 40 yards. After two series, Taylor was out and Mills came in. He went on to complete 11 of his 22 passes for 112 yards and did throw an interception, but overall looked sharp. Mills led one of only two Texans touchdown drives. He hit fellow third-round pick Nico Collins for a 24-yard gain that set up a Scottie Phillips five-yard touchdown run.    

The Texans visit the Cowboys as 3.5-point road underdogs. The over/under is 38.
