In a nail-biting Week 12 matchup, the Houston Texans narrowly defeated the Miami Dolphins, finishing with a score of 14-13. The stakes were high as both teams vied for playoff positioning in the tight AFC, making every point crucial in this late-season clash. C.J. Stroud led the Texans’ offense with composure, throwing for two touchdowns that ultimately made the difference. Despite being outgained in passing yards, Houston found success on the ground with Woody Marks contributing 55 rushing yards. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes showcased his arm talent for Miami, racking up 253 passing yards and keeping the game competitive, but it wasn't enough to secure the victory. Defensively, both teams made critical plays, but it was Houston's Will Anderson Jr. who stood out, recording a sack that halted a promising Dolphins drive. The turning point came when Dante Trader Jr. of Miami intercepted Stroud, giving the Dolphins a chance to take control. However, Miami's inability to capitalize on their opportunities ultimately cost them as the Texans held off their late-game surge for the win.
