The Houston Texans’ loss to the juggernaut Miami Dolphins was far more palatable at the final whistle than it appeared it might be at halftime. Fans knew that Houston was in for a beating heading into the matchup, but after being down 30 after two quarters, it seemed like a sick consolation prize for them to earn their defeat with just a 15-point deficit at the final whistle.
Tight end Jordan Akins was a key part of the Texans’ pseudo-comeback against the Dolphins and told reporters after the game that Houston’s conditioning seemed to play a factor in their second-half offensive surge.
