Official Texans @ Dolphins Game Thread, 11/27/2022

[Keith]

Texans benched LG Kenyon Green. Didn't matter, another punt.

First quarter ends during the Dolphins' next drive. Mothership says Harris is questionable with a shoulder injury.

Texans defense gets a stop on 3rd and 10 near midfield. Dolphins passing offense is legit good, but their receivers are just a tad off with some drops and deflections. Punt goes for a touchback.\

Allen is interepted in a lazy play action pass by LB Andrew Van Ginkel, a 5th rounds pick in 2019 out of Wisconsin, who returns it 22 yards to the Texans 3. RB Justin Wilson then takes the handoff right tackle for the score.

0-17, 12:22 2nd quarter

[Keith]

Allen back out there for another 3-and-out. Cam Johnston punts for the fourth time, 51.0 yd avg so far, so we have that goin for us, which is nice.

Dolphins get back into the red zone but stall out. Sanders converts a short 23-yd field goal. This has basically turned into a glorified scrimmage.

0-20, Dolphins. 6:22 2nd quarter

[Keith]

Allen is stripped, but former Dolphin LT Laremy Tunsil falls on it for a 6-yd loss following a (-4) completion to Collins.

Oh no, CB Xavien Howard recovers a Jordan Akins fumble, then runs 16 yards into the endzone for the score.

0-27 Dolphins, 4:59 2nd quarter

KR Tremon Smith returns the kickoff to the 16. Not a good half for him. Someone please let him know he doesn't have to return every kickoff.

Akins bobbles his next target, but keeps it anyway to convert for a first down. Allen sacked for an 8-yd loss on the subsequent play as Pierce picked up a blitzer but was bulldozed anyway. Allen's third down completion goes for 7 yards when he needed 13. Another Johnston punt after the two minute warning, this one a 54-yd beauty for a fair catch.

Dolphins end the half on a 35-yd field goal.

0-30. Yuck.

[Keith]

Texans mounted a drive. 6 plays, 64 yards. Ogunbowale started off with a 9-yd run, then a catch. Allen found Cooks for a deep pass with an unnecessary roughness tacked on. Ogun then went up the middle for the score. 2-pt attempt failed.

6-30, 3:18 3rd quarter

[Keith]

Hmm, Dolphins sit Tagovailoa. Skylar Thompson under center. My fantasy team is not pleased.

And... Thompson fumbles. Recovered by the Texans at midfield.


Allen makes the most of the turnover finding Akins for a 25-yard touchdown. Another 2-pt conversion attempt fails.

12-30, 12:46 4th quarter.

[Keith]

Dolphins three-and-out. Man, playing with a backup QB sucks.

Texans go 8 plays for 57 yards, stalling out inside the redzone after a 12-yd completion to Collins. Fairbairn good from 28 yards.

15-30, 9:00 4th quarter
