DOLPHINS 30, TEXANS 15

MIAMI GARDENS — Tua Tagovailoa threw for 299 yards and Miami raced to a 30-point lead over Houston before holding on for their fifth consecutive win.

Tagovailoa had his fourth consecutive game without an interception, Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill each had 85 yards receiving and the Dolphins’ defense had three takeaways in a game that was a 30-point blowout at halftime.

Houston (1-9-1) managed just 32 yards through its first 25 plays with Kyle Allen starting at quarterback in place of benched Davis Mills. The Texans finished with 210 yards of total offense, most of which came in the second half.

Running back Dare Ogunbowale had a 3-yard rushing TD in the third quarter for Houston’s first score, and tight end Jordan Akins had a 25-yard TD catch in the fourth quarter.

Miami (8-3) scored on six of its first seven possessions, and its receivers were wide open in the Houston secondary. Five Dolphins players amassed 20 receiving yards. Waddle had 10 catches and Hill had nine.

In the first quarter, Waddle broke Miami’s franchise record for the most receiving yards (1,926) in the first two seasons of a career. Jarvis Landry, now with New Orleans, previously held the mark.

Allen was 26-of-39 passing with 215 yards and 2 interceptions.
