HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins find themselves in similar situations entering Thursday's game in Houston (8:20 p.m. Fox/NFL Network). Both are 4-3 and in the thick of the AFC playoff race.
They were in similar situations last season, too, but in 2017, they were dealing with adversity on and off the field.
"Basically, it affects you more mentally than anything else, because your focus is not necessarily on football. Your focus is on your family and what they're going through and what's happening." Houston's Romeo Crennel on dealing with the aftermath of a hurricane
It started with two devastating hurricanes -- Harvey in Houston and Irma in Miami.
