And the winning returns!

There is no reason to think that Houston is going to do much of anything this season.

The Texans are in trouble for the foreseeable future. They have more needs on their roster than any other team in the league and their star quarterback both doesn’t want to play for them and more than likely won’t be able to given his recent legal issues. To say that Houston is a mess may be the understatement of the century.

Their defense is a shell of its former self and they have next to no skill position players to help whatever poor soul ends up starting for them at quarterback. This team won’t be able to stop anyone and won’t be able to put points on the board. There is a legitimate chance that this team only wins a handful of games this year, if that many.

The only thing that Houston has going for them is some left tackle who nobody in Miami has ever heard of, so at least they have that.

I don’t want to come right out and call this one a blowout, but there is a lot of evidence that this game can be one of those tune-up games for stronger opponents down the road.

Miami wins by three scores.

Dolphins record 5-4
