The Houston Texans secured a narrow 20-12 victory over the Miami Dolphins despite a lackluster offensive performance, recording just 181 total yards, the lowest in a win for the franchise in nearly two decades.
The Texans' success was largely due to their formidable defense, which forced Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa into four turnovers, and special teams that executed a crucial fake punt.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud and receiver Nico Collins connected for both touchdowns, showcasing their growing chemistry and ability to improvise under pressure.
