Official Texans @ Dolphins Game Thread, 11/7/2021

[Keith]

Tua out with a broken finger.

First Texans drive into the red zone ends with an interception as Tyrod Taylor threw under heavy pressure from an unblocked pass rusher. David Johnson seemed lost identifying from where the blitzer was coming.

0-0 through first five minutes of play.

[Arky]

Gaskin runs it in from 6 yards for the Dolphins.

Dolphins 7, Texans 0

4:37 left in the 1st qtr.

So far it seems like the Dolphins having to use their second string quarterback and the Texans getting to use their first string quarterback has had the expected impact on the inevitable result: none.

[Arky]

Texans get a turnover - fumble recovery at the Dolphin 33. See if they can do something with it....


About 12 minutes left in the half.

[Arky]

Fairbairn good from 31 after the turnover.

Dolphins 7, Texans 3

9:48 left in the half.

Leading tackler for the Texan defense so far is #43 LB Neville Hewitt. Who? Ex Dolphin, ex Jet. 6 years in the league. Went to Marshall.

So concludes today's episode of "Meet the Texans".....

--------------------------------------------------------------

Taylor sacked twice so far. Think it might be better to put him on the move - lose the pocket QB jazz...

----------------------------------------------------------------

Texans got the ball back but couldn't get the drive going. Taylor's pass is deflected incomplete on 3 and 4. Texans puntiing.

5:43 left in the half.

Dolphins fumble the punt and Texans recover! Turnover #3. Texans at the Dolphin 23.

[Arky]

Fairbairn good from 40.

Dolphins 7, Texans 6

4:32 left in the half.

-------------------------------------

Dang, 3 turnovers by the Dolphins and 6 pts by the Texans. Not very efficient....
