Texans to their fifth straight win.This one http://www.miamidolphinsteamonline.com/jerome-baker-jersey , a 42-23 victory Thursday night over the Dolphins, meant a little more to the running back because of his ties to South Florida. Miller was born and grew up in Miami before attending college at Miami, was drafted by the Dolphins in 2012 and spent his first four seasons with the team.Miller had 133 yards rushing and a touchdown for his second straight 100-yard game."It felt good," Miller said. "I was speaking to the guys before the game and today I just had a different type of juice. I got a lot of rest last night. So today was just good. The offensive line did a great job and I'm just thankful."He's the first Texan to rush for 100 ya rds in consecutive games since Arian Foster in 2014.Miller's 2-yard touchdown in the first quarter tied the game at 7. He had a 19-yard run earlier in the drive to set up the score.He had a 58-yard run early in the third quarter on his way to another 100-yard game. He hadn't had one since 2016 before last week against Jacksonville.Quarterback Deshaun Watson raved about Miller's recent work and said it's helped make things easier for him."It starts with the run game," Watson said. "They've got to respect it. They've got to get seven men in the box, sometimes eight men in the box and then they kind of open up the passing game. So the safeties are very aggressive and we can get behind those guys using our speed and our talent with Will (Fuller), Hop (DeAndre Hopkins), Tyler (Ervin) and Keke (Coutee) when he's healthy."The winning streak, which leaves the Texans in first place in the AFC South, comes after they opened the season 0-3. Miller is impressed with how the Texans worked together to turn things around, but he isn't surprised."It just shows the type of guys we have in this locker room," Miller said. "When we lost three games straight everybody still came in with the same mindset to get better. I think every week we've just been improving and building that bond and that chemistry, and we've just got to keep it going."Some things to know about Houston's win over the Dolphins:TANNEHILL'S STATUSBrock Osweiler started his third straight game in place of Ryan Tannehill Authentic Kenny Stills Jersey , who is out with an injured shoulder. Coach Adam Gase was asked if he thought Tannehill would return on Nov. 4 when the Dolphins host the Jets."I don't know," he said. "We're still going through the process with his rehab stuff. I'll worry about that next week."Osweiler won his first start after Tannehill's injury, but Miami has lost the last two games with him in charge of the offense.Osweiler, who had one tough season in Houston after signing a $72 million contract in 2016, threw for 241 yards with an interception on Thursday night.Though his time with the Texans didn't go well, he insisted that he doesn't have any hard feelings toward the organization."There was no negative emotion or anything like that," he said. "In fact, it was great to see a lot of the guys."TEXANS INJURIESSeveral Texans sustained injuries on Thursday night. Cornerback Johnathan Joseph injured his ankle in the first quarter, linebacker Zach Cunningham also left in the first quarter with a knee injury and receiver Will Fuller left the game after injuring his knee in the fourth quarter.Joseph said he had a sprained ankle, but the coach Bill O'Brien said he didn't have any details on the severity of the injuries to Cunningham and Fuller after the game.HOPKINS' HANDSHopkins has developed a knack for making one-handed catches look routine. He had one last week against Jacksonville and added another one on Thursday night. Unfortunately for the Texans, his eye-popping grab against the Dolphins didn't count.Hopkins reached back and grabbed the ball with one hand and weaved it between his legs in the air before crashing to the ground. But it was brought back after he was called for pass interference.Hopkins said that he watched the replay several times and didn't think that he pushed off."It was hand battling," he said. "The guy had two hands, he was off-balance. So I think that somebody owes me an apology. I don't know who it is but somebody owes me an apology." The Miami Dolphins' first game in 2017 was delayed a week due to a hurricane Authentic Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey , so it was no big deal when they needed more than seven hours to play this year's opener.Miami showed a willingness to wait for a win, outlasting the Tennessee Titans 27-20 in a game took longer to play than any since at least 1970. Months of preparation for the season didn't include a plan on how to deal with a pair of weather delays lasting about two hours each."The coaching staff and players and staff — everybody does a good job of trying to figure out the solution," coach Adam Gase said Monday.They've had plenty of practice dealing with unusual challenges.Last year the Dolphins lost quarterback Ryan Tannehill to a season-ending knee injury early in training camp. Hurricane Irma caused the postponement of the first game, forcing Miami to play 16 weeks in a row. Linebacker Lawrence Timmons went AWOL on the eve of the opener, and offensive line coach Chris Foerster resigned at midseason after a video appeared to show him snorting white powder.In short, Gase has become accustomed to unexpected challenges."I won't be surprised by anything," he said. "I think we've almost covered everything."The biggest issue with Sunday's delays, Gase said, was not knowing how long they would last."It's dead time, and then you get a 10-minute warning and you have to juice it back up," he said.That the Dolphins did, scoring 20 points in the final 22 minutes after the second delay. That included a 102-yard kickoff return by Jakeem Grant and a 75-yard touchdown pass from Tannehill to Kenny Stills, as well as a 54-yard interception return by Reshad Jones that helped seal the win."Wild game http://www.authenticsmiamidolphins.com/cheap-daniel-kilgore-jersey ," Tannehill tweeted Monday. "Part of me felt like we'd still be playing today. Glad to be a part of some history and get the year started with a win."The Dolphins had stellar contributions from Jones (two interceptions), Stills (two touchdown catches) and Frank Gore (61 yards in nine carries). But 2017 bugaboos — tackling, pre-snap penalties and third-down conversions — remained a problem, and five red-zone possessions produced only one touchdown.Gase was especially unhappy about a third-quarter brawl after defensive tackle Jordan Phillips stood over injured Titans tackle Taylor Lewan and appeared to taunt him following Jones' first interception."The fight drives me nuts," Gase said. "I'd rather our guys celebrate with the guy who just intercepted the ball, instead of doing what happened there. We'll address it, we'll handle it and we'll make changes if we have to."Tannehill threw for 230 yards with two scores and two interceptions. It was his first game since a knee injury sidelined him 21 months ago."I reflected a little bit on the grind that it was to get back here," Tannehill said. "I tried to stay in the present as much as I could."Brock Osweiler was unneeded as Tannehill's backup. On game day Gase chose Osweiler for the No. 2 job over David Fales, who was inactive, but the pecking order could change."We'll see how it goes going forward," Gase said. "I like both those guys. That one is not an easy decision each week."
