Introduction
There are two NFL teams in Texas, the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans.
The teams
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world. NFL teams are based in cities across the United States.
Houston Texans
The Houston Texans are a professional American football team based in Houston, Texas. The Texans compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) South division. The team plays its home games at NRG Stadium, an outdoor stadium with a retractable roof in Houston’s NRG Park, which also houses Astroworld and Minute Maid Park. The Texans have won two AFC South championships since joining the league in 2002 as an expansion team.
Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) East division. They are headquartered in Frisco, Texas, and play their home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which opened for the 2009 season. The stadium took the place of the partially collapsed Texas Stadium, which served as the team’s home from 1971 to 2008.
The Cowboys joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1960. The team’s national following might best be represented by its NFL record of consecutive sell-outs. The Cowboys’ streak of 190 consecutive sold-out regular and post-season games (home and away) began in 2002. The franchise has made it to eight Super Bowls, tied with Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos for second most Super Bowl appearances in history behind only New England Patriots’ nine appearances. This has also corresponded to eight NFC championships, most in the NFC.[2] They have 19 players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and have had three head coaches inducted into the Ring of Honor: Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and former owner Jerry Jones.
San Antonio Riders
The San Antonio Riders were a professional American football team that competed in the World League of American Football (WLAF) in 1991 and 1992. The team was based in San Antonio, Texas, and played its home games at the Alamodome.
