The Miami Dolphins take on the Houston Texans December 15th, 2024 at NRG Stadium at 1:00 pm
The Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans are set to clash in an intriguing matchup at NRG Stadium. The Dolphins, with a 6-7 record, are looking to bounce back with Tua Tagovailoa leading their offense. Tagovailoa boasts an impressive 240 completions on 325 attempts, amassing 2,456 yards and 17 touchdowns against only four interceptions. However, the Dolphins face significant injury concerns, particularly with key players like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle listed as questionable, which could impact their offensive firepower. On the ground, De’Von Achane has been a reliable option, but the Dolphins’ rushing attack will need to be more efficient to challenge the Texans’ defense. The Texans, holding an 8-5 record, present a formidable challenge with C.J. Stroud at the helm. Stroud has thrown for 3,117 yards and 15 touchdowns, showing his ability to lead the Texans’ offense effectively. Joe Mixon has been a standout in the backfield, with 887 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, providing a balanced attack. The absence of Stefon Diggs due to injury is a blow to the Texans’ receiving corps, but Nico Collins remains a deep threat with 832 yards on the season. Defensively, both teams have struggled, with the Dolphins and Texans showing vulnerabilities in their respective efficiency ratings. The Texans’ defense ranks slightly better, which could be crucial in a tightly contested game. Given the offensive capabilities and defensive challenges on both sides, this matchup is poised to be a high-scoring affair.
