Teams combine for 9 turnovers; Dolphins defeat Texans 17-9
Associated PressMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — There was celebratory music coming from the Miami Dolphins locker room on Sunday afternoon, the first time that’s happened this season. In the NFL’s most turnover-filled game in more than five seasons, the Dolphins got 244 yards passing and a touchdown throw from surprise starter Jacoby Brissett on the way to beating the Houston Texans 17-9 on Sunday. “It’s good to get a win,” Dolphins coach Brian Flores said. “Always good to get a win.” And then he paused, nearly letting his almost-always-stoic face break into the slightest of smiles before conceding, yet again, “it’s good to get a win.” It was Miami’s first win while committing at least five turnovers since Oct. 18, 1990. When you do that, you get these results.. Our entire football team deserved better.” Said Taylor: “It’s uncharacteristic of me, but it happened today.” It took four plays for Brissett to cash in that gift, finding a sliding Hollins with a 5-yard scoring throw and Miami’s biggest halftime lead at home in just over a year — since a 28-10 edge at the break over the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 1, 2020.
