Anybody can beat former Super Bowl contender New England this year, but can you say that you can knock off the Houston Texans? The Miami Dolphins can't. Their 29-28 loss in the final seconds Sunday to Houston marked the fourth time they've taken an 'L' to the expansion franchise in four games.

Commentary: Victory was pretty much in the Dolphins' grasp as they had held Matt Schaub and the Texans' offense three times at the goal line. But a fourth-and-2 draw play was too much for them, leaving the Dolphins in shock as Schaub celebrated with the hometown fans. Schaub's run into the end zone propelled Houston to 1-4 and dropped Miami to 2-3.

The Dolphins were pounding their chest last week after they moved to .500 for the first time this year, but hard times are ahead as they now face Baltimore, Buffalo and Denver. The Bills and Broncos could potentially shred a weak secondary that did all but take Texans WR Andre Johnson out to dinner after the game. Or maybe it's just seeing the intimidating bull on the Texans' helmets that sent Miami running.

Fan Pulse: Some Miami maniacs think the game should be pinned solely on the defense: http://www.phins.com/phorum/read.php?3,6875.

Fantasy Football Commentary: Running back Ronnie Brown took a slight hit thanks to Patrick Cobbs' career day Sunday. Cobbs had three catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Don't fret, Brown is the man at the running back position and is a solid start every week.

Injury Watch: There are no key injuries to the Dolphins heading into week 7.
