Final Thoughts:
Texans won this game, with turnovers and a fake punt. The Texans forced 4 turnovers. And they scored 10 points off those turnovers. 

For the Dolphins, they didn't have a good game from Tua Tagovailoa. He threw 3 interceptions and lost a fumble. 

With the loss, the Dolphins are hoping for either the Chargers or Broncos to lose, to keep them in the hunt. 

With the win, the Texans are a Colts loss away from clinching the NFC South. 

The Dolphins will host the San Francisco 49ers, Next Sunday. While the Texans will head to KC, to face the Chiefs on Saturday Afternoon.
