The Miami Dolphins were threatening to potentially tie the game against the Houston Texans, but once again the defense made a play.
Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. undercut a pass intended for Tyreek Hill from Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has thrown two picks on Sunday after entering with 184 pass attempts without an interception.

Stingley was one-on-one with Hill, who has been held to just two receptions for 36 yards. Miami’s other top receiver Jaylen Waddle did not record a catch before leaving with an injury in the second quarter.
Stingley has four interceptions this season. Stingley and Calen Bullock join the Detroit Lions Kerby Joesph and Brian Branch as the only teammates with four or more interceptions.
Houston has three takeaways, which is the fifth time this season doing so.
