The Houston Texans secured a crucial 20-12 victory over the Miami Dolphins, inching closer to clinching the AFC South title with a magic number of one. This win marks their second consecutive winning season since 2018-19.
Despite a struggling offense that managed only 181 total yards and four three-and-outs, the Texans' defense shone, generating four turnovers and showcasing standout performances from players like Derek Stingley Jr. and Calen Bullock.
Special teams also played a pivotal role, highlighted by a successful fake punt by Dare Ogunbowale. The coaching staff, led by DeMeco Ryans, emphasized the need for improvement as they prepare for upcoming challenges against Kansas City and Baltimore.
