The Dolphins were pretty much in control for the first half -- causing two turnovers on defense, getting big-play TDs of 80 yards and 53 yards -- and then the Texans got a special teams touchdown.
And that is why this game which Miami dominated is 14-13 as the teams prepare to come out for the start of the third quarter.
The Dolphins have gotten TDs from Patrick Cobbs on a 53 pass from Chad Pennington out of the Wildcat package and an 80-yard screen pass out of the base formation.
The Texans managed two Kris Brown field goals to trail 14-6, but then Jacoby Jones returned a punt 70 yards to give Houston life.
It should be an interesting second half. Join me in the comments section below for the continuation of the live blog

Posted by: Haywood | October 12, 2008 at 02:57 PM
Once again Channing Powder leaves the middle soft
Posted by: dolphan4life | October 12, 2008 at 02:57 PM
When a QB runs for a first down it really breaks the back of a defense.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 02:57 PM
no stops = lose
Posted by: krueg | October 12, 2008 at 02:57 PM
ugh
Posted by: lgmack | October 12, 2008 at 02:57 PM
we just can't stop them on third down
Posted by: phil | October 12, 2008 at 02:57 PM
Channing Crowder is actually playing a very good game.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 02:57 PM
Our Defense needs to step up.
TFK

Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 02:59 PM

Posted by: phil | October 12, 2008 at 02:59 PM
Who will replace Crowder?
Posted by: Hayden Fox | October 12, 2008 at 02:59 PM
we need a sack we have had pressure but no sacks
Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 02:59 PM
Akin Ayodele will call the plays on defense for at least one play. He gets the coach to player helmet now.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Thanks Mando
Posted by: Hayden Fox | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Schaub needs to get his bell rung...he has way to much time
Posted by: Haywood | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM

Posted by: dmac72 | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM

Posted by: | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
we need a long drive into the 4th to wear down texans, our d looks like its getting gassed, i wouldnt be surprised if the texans broke one
Posted by: sonnycrockkett | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Too much time in the pocket.
Posted by: Joel | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
they are not getting enough pressure on Schaub
Posted by: Haywood | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
i agree a sack or a good hit to make him start thinking twice
Posted by: phil | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Look at the difference once Powder goes out
Posted by: dolphan4life | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
big play here
Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
we have no pass rush
Posted by: lgmack | October 12, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Aren't the Dolphins lucky the Texans have decided not to throw the ball again to Andre Johnson?
Gary Kubiak is a dummy.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 03:01 PM
Will Allen has a knee brace on the outside of his pants. Did he tweak his knee in this game?
Posted by: Joel | October 12, 2008 at 03:01 PM
3rd down defense is like last years today
Posted by: Hayden Fox | October 12, 2008 at 03:01 PM
Who's worse...our offense at converting third down or our defense stopping third down?
Posted by: krueg | October 12, 2008 at 03:01 PM
We are going to lose this one. Damn!
Posted by: dolphan4life | October 12, 2008 at 03:02 PM
maybe that will fire us up
Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 03:02 PM
Jason Ferguson jumps offside and takes Schaub to the turf causing a little ruckus. Funny.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 03:02 PM
There are wearing our D down.
Posted by: Joel | October 12, 2008 at 03:03 PM
Defense is going to lose us this one...no question.
Posted by: krueg | October 12, 2008 at 03:03 PM

Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 03:04 PM
WHEW!!!!!!!
Posted by: dmac72 | October 12, 2008 at 03:04 PM
Hochuli's crew has not called a penalty on the Texans.
AND how long were they going to wait to give the ball to Miami on the fumble?
Wht a terrible crew.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | October 12, 2008 at 03:04 PM
Andre' Johnson fumbles!!! I guess someone will say that's why they weren't throwing to him.
By the way, Crowder's injury was a shoulder. And he's back in the game.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 03:05 PM
For the seconds straight week the texans are winnin the gm for their opponents... Thank god the Dolphins are catching a lotta breaks
