Texans’ Fans Showed Their Spirit At Jerry’s World

By Cheval John

The once in a few years rivalry matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans ended with the Cowboys winning in overtime 20-17.

Though they were some highlights like Tony Romo’s houdini escape from J.J. Watt that resulted in a touchdown pass to an unbelievable catch by Dez Bryant that set up the game-winning field goal in overtime, the real takeaway was the invasion of AT&T Stadium by the fan base of the Texans.

The Texans’ fans made themselves known in Jerry’s World that Romo criticize his supporters because he felt that the Cowboys was playing a road game despite being at home.


“We played on the road today in that football game,” Romo said after the game to Sports Illustrated. “We need to do a better job as a fan base.”

This is not the first time that the Cowboys felt that way.

In the opening week of the season against the San Francisco 49ers, there were a slew of 49ers fans at Jerry World in support of their team.

At times when I took to Twitter to tweet about the game, I thought that the Cowboys had made a play after I heard the fans cheering.

However, it turned out that it was the 49ers that were making the plays.

As a 49er fan, I felt relieved and happy that they beat the Cowboys in their own stadium.

Maybe the Cowboys’ fans are sending a message to their team that we will not accept mediocrity anymore with the lack of a turnout to the games.

Jerry Jones might have finally received the message after the Texans’ fan base showed who is Texas’ real team.
