The Texans are a 3-point underdog in this week's game, which points towards a passing game script.Opposing teams have averaged 36.2 pass attempts per game vs. the Miami Dolphins defense this year: 4th-most in the NFL.Brandin Cooks has been a big part of his team's passing offense near the goal line, posting a Red Zone Target Share of 18.2% this year, which puts him in the 78th percentile among wide receivers.The Miami Dolphins cornerbacks grade out as the 6th-worst group of CBs in the NFL this year in covering pass-catchers.The Miami Dolphins have stacked the box vs. opponents on 21.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-most in football. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
