Miami Dolphins defeat Houston Texans 28-3 during preseason game in Lone Star State
HOUSTON -- Tua Tagovailoa threw an intercepted on his first play of the preseason Saturday for the Miami Dolphins against the Houston Texans.
His second drive went much better.
Playing in his first game since sustaining a concussion on Christmas Day, Tagovailoa led a 14-play, 93-yard drive - capped by a 2-yard scoring run by Raheem Mostert - to give the Dolphins an early lead in a 28-3 victory.
Tagovailoa sat down after that, ending his day 5 of 7 for 61 yards for the Dolphins (1-1).
Houston rookie C.J. Stroud was much sharper than he was in his NFL debut last week when he had a pass picked off on his first possession and finished with 13 yards passing on two drives. Playing the entire first half Saturday, the second overall pick was 7 of 12 for 60 yards and helped the Texans (1-1) to a field goal.
