The Dolphins had been 0-7 previously against Houston (2-5), the only team they had never beaten.

Redskins 31, Buccaneers 30 • Kirk Cousins threw three second-half touchdown passes, including the go-ahead score with 24 seconds left, to lead host Washington to the largest comeback in franchise history after trailing by 24 points.
“Not too long”, said Tannehill.
Dan Campbell has won his first two games as coach of the Dolphins. And if Miami does win this game, not only will Dan Campbell be rewarded permanent head coach, but you have to believe that Miami is a legitimate threat to New England in the future.
RAIDERS 37, CHARGERS 29: Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes, including a 52-yarder to Amari Cooper, and Oakland turned two interceptions of Philip Rivers into 10 points on their way to an easy victory over in what could be the last game of the AFC West rivalry played in San Diego.
HOBBLED FOSTER: To compound the Texans’ misery, running back Arian Foster hobbled off the field late in the game with an Achilles tendon injury that might end his season.
Texans coach Bill O’Brien said he didn’t know the severity of the injury, but added “it obviously didn’t look good”. “I feel bad for him”.
If the Texans thought their woeful first-half performance was the end of their misery, they were mistaken.
The Dolphins began pulling their regulars at halftime, and the Texans drew small solace from scoring four touchdowns in the second half. The march culminated with a 53-yard slant pass to Matthews, who broke a tackle and was gone.
There’s a chance Dolphins cornerback Brice McCain, who missed Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans, returns from his right knee injury and plays against the New England Patriots on Thursday. Landry caught a quick out on the left sideline, almost stepping out of bounds.
On the season, the Miami Dolphins average 248.5 yards in passing and 117.5 yards in rushing. He had a 54-yard receiving touchdown early in the second and capped off his ridiculous afternoon with an 85-yard touchdown run with 2:47 left in the second. That has worked for Bill Belichick in New England… but not for Philbin here. Everyone loves him. I can’t even put tweets here that I wanted to include because they reference sexual acts that fans are offering Dan Campbell – it’s gotten that serious. But perspective is urged since the Dolphins beat two-sub. 500 teams in the Tennessee Titans and the Houston Texans.
Matthews has been hot and cold this year; he’s got a 113-yard, 2-TD game under his belt and now this solid outing.
-RB Lamar Miller ran 14 times for 175 yards and one touchdown. From scrimmage, he had 236 yards. In four games under former coach Joe Philbin, he was limited to 218 total yards and no TDs.

The box score for the game shows Suh had six tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss, two passes defensed, and three quarterback hits. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve looked great, I spent a few time down there during Campbell’s first week and the players seemed to really be responding to it. The Patriots have been the class of the division, they’re the class of the National Football League being the defending champions, I don’t think Miami has to win, but they can go on the road in a short week and can at least compete, similar to what the Jets did…
