TEXANS:
In his past 3 games, QB BRIAN HOYER has completed 65 of 97 (67.0%) for 837 yards, 7 TDs, and 1 INT for a 113.6 rating, including 293 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs, and a 119.3 rating last week versus the Jags. Hoyer is aiming for his fourth game in a row with 2+ TDs and a rating over 100.
RB ARIAN FOSTER posted 112 yards from scrimmage last week, including 5 catches for 59 yards and a TD. Foster aims for his third game in a row with 100+ yards from scrimmage. In his last meeting with the Dolphins, Foster rushed for 79 yards and 2 TDs.
Last week, WR DEANDRE HOPKINS led the team with 10 catches for 148 yards and 2 TDs. He is the only player in NFL history with 9+ catches and 145+ receiving yards in 3 consecutive games. In his past 4 games, Hopkins has 38 catches for 575 yards and 3 TDs. His active streak of 4 consecutive 100-yard receiving games is tied for a club record (ANDRE JOHNSON).
In his only game at Miami (12/16/12 with Jacksonville), WR CECIL SHORTS III had 6 catches for 101 yards.
In his past 11 games, J.J. WATT has 15 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, a safety, 7 PDs, and a TD catch. Since entering the NFL in 2011, Watt leads the league with 61 sacks.
LB BRIAN CUSHING leads the Texans with 52 tackles, including 12 last week.
DOLPHINS:
DAN CAMPBELL earned his first career victory in his head coaching debut last week.
QB RYAN TANNEHILL has 8 TD passes in his past 4 games, including 266 yards and 2 TDs versus the Titans last week. Tannehill aims for his fifth game in a row with 2 TDs. He needs 3 more TD passes to join HOFers DAN MARINO (420) and BOB GRIESE (192) as the only Dolphins with 75 career TD passes.
RB LAMAR MILLER posted his fourth career 100-yard rushing game last week (with a season-high 113 yards versus the Titans).
WR/PR JARVIS LANDRY aims for his ninth game in a row at home with 4+ receptions. Landry is one of two NFL players with 30+ rec. (31) and a punt return for a TD in 2015 (TRAVIS BENJAMIN is the other).
WR RISHARD MATTHEWS has 85+ receiving yards in 3 of his past 4 games, including 85 yards last week against the Titans.
DE CAMERON WAKE ranks second in franchise history with 67 career sacks (JASON TAYLOR leads with 131), including 4 last week.
Since joining the Dolphins in 2013, CB BRENT GRIMES has 11 INTs, tied for most among AFC CBs, including one last week.
S RESHAD JONES leads the Dolphins with 51 tackles.
