came out of their bye week looking like no time had passed as the team was immediately back in rhythm as they faced the Houston Texans (+6). Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was in control from his first snap of the game through to when the team pulled him with a 30-point lead. The Dolphins did everything right, especially in the first half, on Sunday and left the game with their fifth-straight win.
The Texans made an attempt, once Tagovailoa was out of the game, to claw their way back into contention. They scored two second-half touchdowns, missing the two-point conversion attempt on both, and kicked a field goal, but the Dolphins defense did enough - including a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown, two interceptions, and five sacks - to get the team over the finish line with the victory.
