  "account": "In Week 4, Houston Texans find themselves in a desperate situation as they prepare to face the Dallas Cowboys for the second time in C.J. Stroud's NFL career. With only one win in four games, a 0-4 start could spell disaster for the Texans' playoff hopes, a scenario that has occurred just once before in NFL history. Dallas, making their first visit to Houston in eight years, aim to capitalize on the situation.\n\nThe Texans will be without linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, defensive end Chris Braswell, tight end Marlin Klein, and Nate Thomas for the game. On the Cowboys' side, they will be without wide receiver Camden Brown, cornerback Caelen Carson, offensive lineman Ajani Cornelius, running back Emari Demercado, cornerback Cobie Durant, outside linebacker James Houston, and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown.\n\nIn an exclusive interview with the Chronicle, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones shared his thoughts on his role in bringing an NFL team back to Houston after the Oilers departed. Jones emphasized the importance of this move for Dallas.\n\nFans can tune in to watch the matchup on TV, with Fox broadcasting the game featuring Kenny Albert as play-by-play announcer, Greg Olsen as analyst, and Pam Oliver as sideline reporter. Radio listeners can catch the action on 95.7 FM, 610 AM, and 101.1 FM in Spanish.",
