5 takeaways from the Texans’ 17-9 loss to the Dolphins

HOUSTON —  The Houston Texans dropped their eighth consecutive game in a 17-9 loss to the Miami Dolphins, Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium.

It was another wire-to-wire defeat for the Texans — their third in four games — as the Dolphins scored the first touchdown of the day on a six-yard run by running back Myles Gaskin amid a wildcat offense. 

Tyrod Taylor returned from his six-game absence and ended the day with 240 yards while completing 55.8 percent of his passes, to go along with three interceptions in the loss.

For Miami, Jacoby Brissett — who started in placed of an injured Tua Tagovailoa — led the Dolphins to their first victory in seven tries by recording 244 yards and a touchdown in the win.
