The Miami Dolphins are in Houston to play the Texans in Week 1. The Dolphins will be looking for a solid debut from rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who won the starting job in preseason camp. Miami hopes that Tannehill's familiarity with offensive coordinator Mike Sherman will help the offense get off to a faster start than others might expect.
