Houston Texans – 23, Miami Dolphins – 13
Rhett Davis: In a low scoring game, the Texans defeated the Dolphins. Ben Tate, the back-up RB for the injured Arian Foster, ran for over 100 yards. Schaub also had a big day throwing for over 230 yards and scoring 2 TD’s. Schaub connected with Andre Johnson time and time again for large amounts of yards.
Grey Scherl: Houston continues to impress this year, and from the looks of things if they can not choke as the season progresses, they may finally make their first trip to the playoffs. The Texans biggest hurdle was going to be the Colts, following by their own stability. If they stay healthy and dominant, then the AFC South will have new kings. Miami, on the other hand, needs work. Lots of it. They aren’t an awful team, but they aren’t a really good one either. Their secondary is a joke, the running game went from Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams to Reggie Bush, and Chad Henne may have looked impressive against New England, but if there was ever a team known for their defenses ability to let points get racked up it was New England. It’s going to be a rebuilding year for Miami, again.
Daniels: I’m still not ready to say the Texans are for real, but I am ready to say the Dolphins may not win 4 games this year.
Glazer: So much for Reggie Bush, #1 back. The Dolphins secondary continues to destroy them this year and now I’m stuck deciding of Schaub or Fitzpatrick is the most underrated QB in the league. The division is the Texans to lose, even if they aren’t quite that good, while the Dolphins really need to figure out how to cover someone. Corner might bet he most important position in football. The Dolphins aren’t bad, but aren’t equipped for playing from behind, which is where their defense is leaving them.
