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
now lets score on this drive!!

Posted by: phil | October 12, 2008 at 03:07 PM
we need a long drive that ends in a touchdown
Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 03:07 PM
The texans are commiting 100 percent to the run... I dont know why we are only throwin downfield when were down... too conservative
Posted by: Chase | October 12, 2008 at 03:07 PM
our defense needs a break...we need a long time eating drive
Posted by: Haywood | October 12, 2008 at 03:08 PM
play action hit Ginn deep!
Posted by: O | October 12, 2008 at 03:09 PM
@ chase...good question, I have been wondering why our WR and TE are not getting more action...Can't see the coverage so that may be it, but it looks like Texans are stacking 8 in the box..we should be able to throw more
Posted by: Haywood | October 12, 2008 at 03:09 PM
GINN CANT CATCH, POUND THE BALL.
Posted by: | October 12, 2008 at 03:10 PM

Armando, can you tell us if the WR's and TE are getting open?
Posted by: mr. x | October 12, 2008 at 03:12 PM
Another bull crap call. That was 15 yards. Again, how is this guy still working for the NFL?
Posted by: Hayden Fox | October 12, 2008 at 03:12 PM

I dunno if its cause the chargers were supposed to be hands down better then us that we played like we had nothing to lose. But this week against an average D at best, were playing the opposite of "fearless"
Posted by: Chase | October 12, 2008 at 03:13 PM
why cant we get a 3rd down. frustrating. cant stop them or convert them
Posted by: dmac72 | October 12, 2008 at 03:13 PM
we're asking our defense wich is gassed, to win this game, we're playing for field position with 3 And outs, i don't like the smell of this one. we need to force the issue downfield with camarillo and fasano, our defense can't get a turnover every drive 4 u
Posted by: sonnycrockkett | October 12, 2008 at 03:13 PM

Posted by: Eric | October 12, 2008 at 03:15 PM

Thanks Haywood! the only game on TV in curacao is the stupid jets.
Posted by: azfin | October 12, 2008 at 03:18 PM
Bad clock management
Posted by: Hayden Fox | October 12, 2008 at 03:20 PM
the discipline is just not there. and we arent controlling the line of scrimmage. we've got to hold on here
Posted by: dmac72 | October 12, 2008 at 03:20 PM
1 and 2 yards on first down is killing us too.
Posted by: dmac72 | October 12, 2008 at 03:21 PM
The Tom Cable era is starting of well for the Raiders. I hope Al Davis loses the rest of his games based on how he treated Kiffin.
Maybe then Nmdadi Asmohgua will then come to So. Fla.
