Bobby Slowik Under Scrutiny as Houston Texans Prepare for Dallas Cowboys

Bobby Slowik, the Offensive Coordinator of the Houston Texans, is facing significant scrutiny as the team prepares to face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 11. The criticism comes on the heels of the Texans’ recent performances, which have been marked by disappointing second-half collapses. In their last game against the Detroit Lions, the Texans built a substantial lead only to lose on a last-second field goal.

Former NFL quarterback and analyst has unloaded on Slowik, describing his play-calling as ‘entry-level.’ This criticism highlights the growing pressure on Slowik to deliver more consistent and effective game plans. Slowik has taken the blame for some of the team’s recent struggles, acknowledging the need for improvement in the offense’s performance.

The Texans are also dealing with several key injuries that could impact their game against the Cowboys. Defensive end Will Anderson, Jr. will miss his second consecutive game due to an ankle injury, while tackle Blake Fisher and defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi are also out. Cornerbacks Kamari Lassiter and Jeff Okudah are listed as questionable with a concussion and a quad injury, respectively.

Despite these challenges, the return of wide receiver Nico Collins, who has been out since Week 5, is expected to provide a boost to the Texans’ offense. Collins’ presence could help stabilize the team’s receiving corps and offer more options for the quarterback.

The Dallas Cowboys, meanwhile, are dealing with their own set of injuries, including the season-ending hamstring injury to quarterback Dak Prescott. Cooper Rush will start in Prescott’s place, and the Cowboys are also without cornerbacks DaRon Bland and Jourdan Lewis. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is questionable with a back injury.
