Texans Player to Watch

RB Joe Mixon is coming off a season-worst average of 1.8 yards per carry against the Lions in just his second game with fewer than 100 yards rushing this season. His 46 yards on 25 carries came against the NFL’s No. 7 run defense. Now Mixon is back to facing the league’s second-worst run defense, which he did in a 102-yard showing at Indianapolis last month. Mixon did score against Detroit, giving him at least one touchdown in all five games since returning from a high ankle sprain.

Cowboys Player to Watch

All-Pro WR CeeDee Lamb won’t have Dak Prescott for the the rest of the season after the franchise QB had season-ending surgery on his torn hamstring. The first game without Prescott was dismal for the Dallas passing game. The Cowboys netted 49 yards through the air, their lowest total since 2001. Lamb had six catches, but for just 21 yards as Dallas averaged a paltry 1.5 yards per attempt. Dallas’ fading hopes will be gone if those numbers don’t improve.
