GAME FACTS

DATE: Sunday, Sept. 9
TIME: 1 p.m. ET
SITE: Reliant Stadium
TV: CBS

THE SERIES

SERIES RECORD: Houston leads 6-0
AT MIAMI: Texans lead 3-0
AT HOUSTON: Texans lead 3-0
LAST MEETING: 2011 at Miami; Texans 23, Dolphins 13
SERIES TREND: Unfortunately for the Dolphins, the trend is: the teams meet, Houston wins. Until last year, though, every game had come down to the end. The first four games, in fact, were decided by a combined seven points.
SERIES HIGHLIGHT: The teams met in an opener once before, that coming in 2003 at Miami. With Houston in only its second season of existence and the Dolphins having legitimate playoff aspirations, Miami was expected to extend its opening-day winning streak to 12 games. But a last-second field goal by Kris Brown gave Houston a stunning 21-20 victory.

TEXANS SCOUTING REPORT

HOUSTON’S 2011 RECORD: 10-6
2011 PLAYOFFS: Beat Cincinnati in wild-card round; lost at Baltimore in divisional round
OVERVIEW: Fresh off the first playoff appearance in franchise history and with QB Matt Schaub back after missing the end of last season with a foot injury, Houston enters the 2012 season as a legitimate contender to win the AFC title and reach the Super Bowl.

I hope Jake Long can get in and play good. Any word on his injury report or how he is doing?

What's the latest on your offensive line woes? I believe Long is playing, correct?

I'm pretty even keeled when it comes to football and like to follow the league. Was an honest question, when healthy he's top 3 or 4 in the league.

To be fair, there has been a lot of funny reading material here in the last 8 or so years.
 
I'm looking down my list of things that might give the Dolphins a chance in this game and the only one that isn't there for comedy purposes is 'conditioning.' Maybe the Texans will be gassed in the opener, and Miami's fast paced practices will give us the edge?

That's all I got.
