Texans condemn Dolphins to another home defeat

12:36 pm on 19 September 2011

The Miami Dolphins suffered their sixth straight home loss as they fell 23-13 to the undefeated Houston Texans.

Houston quarterback Matt Schaub threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns in a game where Miami's Dan Carpenter missed two field goal attempts.

The game turned decisively in the Texans' direction in the fourth quarter when Schaub found Andre Johnson with a 22-yard touchdown pass.

The Dolphins are zero and two, having lost 11 of their last 12 home games and the only positive in another drab display was the 107-yard rushing performance from rookie running back Daniel Thomas.

The result gives the Texans their second win of the season after their season-opening victory over the Indianapolis Colts and extends their all-time record over Miami to 6-0.
