The Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys are squaring off in a Lone Star match up. To the surprise of many people, both teams are 3-1 entering the game, neither being playoff teams last season and neither expected to be this successful this early.

So far the game is a stalemate and one of the more intriguing match ups in the game was how the Cowboys’ offensive line would handle the Texans’ pass rush. The Cowboys have used three first-round draft picks on their offensive line in recent seasons.

This play in the 2nd quarter shows the Texans getting the better end of that match up. Quarterback Tony Romo rolls out of the pocket to avoid a sack and gets a wobbly pass of to tight end Jason Witten just before being sandwiched.

J.J. Watt comes from behind to catch Tony Romo and drive him into the turf, knocking his helmet off in the process.
