The Texans were able to beat the Dolphins because of the following reasons:

1. They used a short passing game and were very effective. ( 17 of 31 for 266 yards)

2. They were successful running the ball. ( 127 yards)

3. Defense stoped the running game. ( 22 for 86 yards)

4. Defense limited the passing game. ( 17 of 32 for 215)

5. Controlled the time clock ( 33:18 )

The Texans take a very conservitive approach with their offense and rely on their defense to keep them close and try to win in the 4th quarter.

What we need to do is get on the scoreboard quick and make them play catch-up. While Huston\'s offense is capiable of making a quick strike in the endzone -- It\'s not likely.

On defense we have to make sure we tackle the receivers. It\'s hard for any team to stop the short quick passes -- so we have to make sure we don\'t allow any YAC. Of coures we need to stop the run on defense and have NO turnovers and limit the penalties.
