Texans Face Dolphins with AFC South Title in Reach

Houston can clinch the division with a win and a Colts loss, while Miami fights to keep playoff hopes alive.

The Houston Texans (8-5) have a chance to secure their second consecutive AFC South title with a victory over the Miami Dolphins (6-7) and a Colts loss this weekend.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud remains focused despite a challenging schedule ahead, while Miami's Tua Tagovailoa leads the NFL in completion percentage and is on a historic streak of efficient passing performances.
Miami has won four of its last five games, with Tagovailoa's accuracy and decision-making driving the offense, but the team continues to struggle with its run game, ranking 24th in the league.
Houston defensive end Danielle Hunter leads the NFL in quarterback pressures and will challenge Miami's injury-hit offensive line, while Dolphins defensive tackle Zach Sieler has emerged as a standout player, earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
The Dolphins must win to stay in playoff contention, while the Texans aim to capitalize on their bye week preparation and home-field advantage.
