The Miami Dolphins secured their eighth win of the season, and fifth in a row, on Sunday, as they defeated the Houston Texans 30-15 at Hard Rock Stadium.
Buy Dolphins TicketsThe final score wasn’t exactly indicative of how the game actually played out, as Miami built a 30-point lead in the first half. However, once left tackle Terron Armstead left with an injury, the blocking fell apart, causing Miami to take quarterback Tua Tagovailoa out of the game.
With rookie Skylar Thompson under center, the Dolphins were unable to move the ball while the Texans scored twice in the second half. However, they were able to outlast Houston’s attack.
Here’s how fans reacted throughout the contest:
Hill and Waddle are so fun to watch. Maybe the most fun Wr Duo I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching

Melvin Ingram is going to be an important player down the stretch and into the postseason. 3rd down sacks end drives. #Dolphins | #FinsUp

Morstead's punt results in a touchback. Give the guy a break. He last punted in, like, September.

If River Cracraft can keep making plays like that 1st half, this offense is gonna be unstoppable. Texans focused on Hill and Waddle, and he keeps getting wide open. #Dolphins

Sack dancing by Jaelan and Bradley has become my favorite Dolphin Sunday ritual. #FinsUp

Let’s pull the starters here Mikey. If I see Tua get sacked again while we’re up 30-0 I’m going to snap

Elandon Roberts is the worst coverage linebacker in the NFL. If he is ever in coverage someone needs to be fired lol

The Miami Dolphins need to run the wild cat. Skylar Thompson is incapable of taking a snap under center. Absolute loser

What happened to pre season Skylar Thompson?

Jerome Baker just DEMOLISHED Kyle Allen.
