Texans to their fifth straight win.This
one
Womens
Walt Aikens Jersey , a 42-23 victory Thursday night over the Dolphins,
meant a little more to the running back because of his ties to South Florida.
Miller was born and grew up in Miami before attending college at Miami, was
drafted by the Dolphins in 2012 and spent his first four seasons with the
team.Miller had 133 yards rushing and a touchdown for his second straight
100-yard game."It felt good," Miller said. "I was speaking to the guys before
the game and today I just had a different type of juice. I got a lot of rest
last night. So today was just good. The offensive line did a great job and I'm
just thankful."He's the first Texan to rush for 100 yards in consecutive games
since Arian Foster in 2014.Miller's 2-yard touchdown in the first quarter tied
the game at 7. He had a 19-yard run earlier in the drive to set up the score.He
had a 58-yard run early in the third quarter on his way to another 100-yard
game. He hadn't had one since 2016 before last week against
Jacksonville.Quarterback Deshaun Watson raved about Miller's recent work and
said it's helped make things easier for him."It starts with the run game,"
Watson said. "They've got to respect it. They've got to get seven men in the
box, sometimes eight men in the box and then they kind of open up the passing
game. So the safeties are very aggressive and we can get behind those guys using
our speed and our talent with Will (Fuller), Hop (DeAndre Hopkins), Tyler
(Ervin) and Keke (Coutee) when he's healthy."The winning streak, which leaves
the Texans in first place in the AFC

Parker Jersey , comes after they opened the season 0-3. Miller is
impressed with how the Texans worked together to turn things around, but he
isn't surprised."It just shows the type of guys we have in this locker room,"
Miller said. "When we lost three games straight everybody still came in with the
same mindset to get better. I think every week we've just been improving and
building that bond and that chemistry, and we've just got to keep it going."Some
things to know about Houston's win over the Dolphins:TANNEHILL'S STATUSBrock
Osweiler started his third straight game in place of Ryan Tannehill, who is out
with an injured shoulder. Coach Adam Gase was asked if he thought Tannehill
would return on Nov. 4 when the Dolphins host the Jets."I don't know," he said.
"We're still going through the process with his rehab stuff. I'll worry about
that next week."Osweiler won his first start after Tannehill's injury, but Miami
has lost the last two games with him in charge of the offense.Osweiler, who had
one tough season in Houston after signing a $72 million contract in 2016, threw
for 241 yards with an interception on Thursday night.Though his time with the
Texans didn't go
well

he insisted that he doesn't have any hard feelings toward the
organization."There was no negative emotion or anything like that," he said. "In
fact, it was great to see a lot of the guys."TEXANS INJURIESSeveral Texans
sustained injuries on Thursday night. Cornerback Johnathan Joseph injured his
ankle in the first quarter, linebacker Zach Cunningham also left in the first
quarter with a knee injury and receiver Will Fuller left the game after injuring
his knee in the fourth quarter.Joseph said he had a sprained ankle, but the
coach Bill O'Brien said he didn't have any details on the severity of the
injuries to Cunningham and Fuller after the game.HOPKINS' HANDSHopkins has
developed a knack for making one-handed catches look routine. He had one last
week against Jacksonville and added another one on Thursday night. Unfortunately
for the Texans, his eye-popping grab against the Dolphins didn't count.Hopkins
reached back and grabbed the ball with one hand and weaved it between his legs
in the air before crashing to the ground. But it was brought back after he was
called for pass interference.Hopkins said that he watched the replay several
times and didn't think that he pushed off."It was hand battling," he said. "The
guy had two hands, he was off-balance. So I think that somebody owes me an
apology. I don't know who it is but somebody owes me an apology." This is one of
