The Dallas Cowboys are in free-fall — four straight losses, hardly competitive in any home game this season, and hamstring surgery that’ll put Dak Prescott on the shelf until next season. Jerry Jones says there won’t be an in-season coaching change, but with the team losing by an average of 23 points per outing in home games this year, something has to change in Jerry World. The Cowboys will try to grab a first home with this season with the Houston Texans making the trip to North Texas, fresh off an unusual loss last Sunday night to the Detroit Lions. Houston managed to intercept Jared Goff five times and still lost the game.
Houston does, however, still have a lead in the AFC South — ahead of the Colts by two games in the standings, and also having swept Indy this season — and will try to pad it on Monday Night Football. Receiver Nico Collins, who was activated off IR and added to the 53-man roster but did not play last week, will be a full-go after a hamstring injury cost him the last five games.

Nico Collins in, Will Anderson Jr., Kamari Lassiter out for Texans
The Texans’ inactives are in. Defensive end Will Anderson Jr, who was ruled out on Saturday, is among them. So is cornerback Kamari Lassiter, who remains sidelined with a concussion.
But Nico Collins is not. Houston’s No. 1 receiver returns from a five-game absence with a hamstring injury and will reportedly play with no restrictions.
