Official Texans @ Dolphins Game Thread, 10/25/2015

This is a somewhat pivotal game (and it sucks that a pivotal game is occurring in October). Win and the Texans can make things interesting again. Lose and the season changes: a shift to a grading session for the roster and coaches, focus on the draft, etc....

Texans QB Ryan Mallett missed team charter and had to fly commercial to Dolphins game. I can imagine Bill OBrien reaction.
