Tragic that the World Series rainout for the originally scheduled time for Game 3 now means that the Texans TNF game will be up against the postponed Game 5.
Proving the Texans aren't totally unaware and unsympathetic, the concourse TVs in the stadium will be airing the baseball game tonight. Still, unfortunate for the Texans and fans of both teams. Given how good the Eagles have been thus far into the season though, it might be a blessing that fewer eyeballs nationally are subjected to this team?
Tonight also marks the gameday debut of the red helmets. Curious to see how those look on TV.
As for another sideshow... Brandin Cooks was NOT traded at the deadline this week and has not really participated in practices. No idea how this plays out, but not a great look for either the team or player. With Nico Collins already ruled out, the passing game will be under even greater duress to perform.
EDIT: ...and Cooks is now sitting out the game tonight.
