Texans’ fake punt leads to a second Nico Collins touchdown, 20-6 lead

The Dolphins defense has played well enough to win. Unfortunately for them, Tua Tagovailoa has two turnovers and the special teams opened the second half by allowing a 35-yard run on a fake punt.

The Dolphins stopped the Texans after five plays but on fourth-and-2 from the Miami 44, upback M.J. Stewart took the direct snap on the punt and handed off to running back Dare Ogunbowale, who ran to the Miami 9. Dolphins defensive back Elijah Campbell had an unnecessary roughness penalty that gave the Texans another 5 yards.

Nico Collins scored his second touchdown two plays later on a 6-yard reception. Collins has four catches for 17 yards.

C.J. Stroud is 13-of-20 for 104 yards and two touchdowns.

The Texans have 151 yards after the 70-yard touchdown drive.
