The Houston Texans and the Miami Dolphins will fight it out in Week 7 of the NFL 2015 regular season on Sunday, and with both teams with negative records so far, they both will be desperate for a win. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Dolphins will be looking to win back to back games for the first time in nearly a year today, however, they are still looking for their first victory over the Houston Texans - a team they are 0-7 against.
After losing three straight games, the team brought in Dan Campbell, and his coaching debut was spectacular, as the Dolphins routed the Tennessee Titans 38-10.
Campbell has said ahead of this week's game: "The challenge now is for these guys to not start patting themselves on the back. We've been notorious for that around here. We get a big win, and then a lull the next week."
The Dolphins will be looking at their calendar for upcoming games and see this week's game will be followed with road games at the New England Patriots, the Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles. That makes today's home game all the more important to win to take some momentum into that three game road trip.
Left tackle Branden Albert assured Miami fans: "I don't think there is going to be a lull this time. Guys are going to prepare to keep winning."
Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football, the Seattle Seahawks destroyed the San Francisco 49ers 20-3 as they shut down the 49ers' offense to great affect.
San Francisco were not even able to get onto the scoreboard until the second half, and when they did it would be a solitary field goal effort in the third quarter.
That result gave the Seahawks their fourth straight win over the 49ers, and it will have pleased them to dump San Francisco down to the depths of 2-5, effectively ending any lingering thoughts that the 49ers had of being able to make the Playoffs.
The Seahawks have been gaining a reputation for having fourth quarter collapses this season, and that has undermined their efforts for their division race. But there was to be no repeat of those collapses on Thursday, as they gained their first road win in four attempts to go 3-4 and within touching distance of a more mediocre .500 record.
On Thursday Night Football, quarterback Russell Wilson completed 10 of his first 12 passes to impose himself on the game, and finished the game with 235 yards passing. However, he was also alarmingly sacked five times as his team failed to give him adequate protection.
Marshawn Lynch scored a spectacular touchdown, jumping the pile for a one yard score, and overall ran for 122 yards, although the most memorable moment for many about Lynch's performance on Thursday may have been when he vomited on the sidelines in the first half.
