Texans take fifth straight win as they knock off Miami

The Miami Dolphins traveled to Houston on Thursday night to take on the Texans. After an 0-3 start, Houston has gone on a four game winning streak and are in first place of the AFC South. The Dolphins are coming off a home loss to the Detroit Lions and are currently 4-3 on the year. Both teams are looking for playoff positioning as the month ends and we hit November. Who will come out on top in this matchup of AFC teams? Let's find out!
 The Dolphins would start with the ball and would drive all the way at the Texans 28 yard line but the Houston defense would get the stop on fourth down and get the ball back for their offense. The Texans would go three and out for their first possession. The Dolphins would drive down the field and attempt a field goal and it would be good but a penalty on the Texans would give Miami a first down and they would get a 12 yard touchdown run by Kenyan Drake for a 12 yard touchdown for a 7-0 Dolphins lead. The Texans would answer with a nine play drive that would end with a two yard touchdown by Lamar Miller to tie the game at 7. The Dolphins drive would end quickly as Brock Osweiler's pass would be intercepted by Justin Reid and returned to the Dolphins 16 yard line. Two plays later, Deshaun Watson would go Jordan Thomas for a 13 yard touchdown for a 14-7 Texans lead as we started the second quarter. After the Dolphins and Texans traded punts, the Dolphins would go on a 10 play drive that would end with a Jason Sanders 37 yard field goal to cut the lead to 14-10 and that would be the score as we head to halftime.
 The Texans would start with the ball to start the second half and would go six plays that would end with Watson going to Thomas for a two yard touchdown pass for a 21-10 lead. Both teams would trade punts. The Dolphins would go on a four play drive that would end with Danny Amendola going to Drake for a 28 yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 21-17. Second play of the Houston drive and Watson would find Will Fuller for a 73 yard touchdown pass for a 28-17 lead. The Dolphins would go on a seven play drive that would result in a 41 yard field goal by Sanders to make it 28-20. First play of the fourth quarter, Watson would find DeAndre Hopkins for a 49 yard touchdown to make it 35-20. The Dolphins would add another field goal and the Texans would add another touchdown as Houston would win their fifth straight game as they beat the Miami Dolphins 42-23.
