They might be “sharing” the state of Texas and much of the country’s southwest region, but the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans non-rivalry doesn’t land on many radars. With the teams set to play in Week 5, the cities’ police departments decided to add a little fuel to the fire with excellent Twitter jabs.
The brief back-and-forth started with a tweet from the Dallas Police Department, knocking the loyalty of Texans fans:
It’s incredible what you find on the interwebs…@houstonpolice #CowboysNation #cowboys #texans pic.twitter.com/xeRA6YiGFk

But Houston responded beautifully by pulling at some very sensitive strings for Cowboys fans:
@DallasPD You’re right! @HoustonTexans #GoTexans #Texans #HoustonTexans pic.twitter.com/pRk9LOJuV0
