After a preseason-opening win over the New England Patriots, an all-too-familiar scene unfolded for the Houston Texans on Saturday at NRG Stadium.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel on what Houston
means to him
Houston was handed a 28-3 defeat at the hands of the Miami Dolphins, who thoroughly dominated on both sides of the ball. The Texans had just 10 first downs to Miami's 23, while getting out-gained 398-186 by a Dolphins squad that won the time of possession battle by more than 17 minutes. Backup quarterback Skylar Thompson was 15 of 22 for 157 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions, with reserve running back Salvon Ahmed torching Houston's defense for 131 yards from scrimmage and one score on 16 touches.
