HOUSTON — Realistic playoff hopes for the Miami Dolphins have evaporated. Falling victim to a pair of touchdowns from Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud to wide receiver Nico Collins and four turnovers of their own doing, the Dolphins lost, 20-12, in a defensive slugfest at NRG Stadium on Sunday afternoon and a contest marred by the scary head injury to wide receiver Grant DuBose. Miami (6-8) is not yet eliminated from the playoffs, but it is running out of paths to the postseason. The team, before the Denver Broncos’ and Los Angeles Chargers’ later games Sunday, fell to two games out of the final AFC playoff spot with three weeks remaining. “My message to the team was not to run from how this feels,” McDaniel said after the loss.
