Dolphins - 17, Texans - 9
TYROD TAYLOR: First off, I'd like to say something. I know something bigger than football happened back in our Houston community this past Friday. Just wanted to let the city of Houston know our organization, our team, our prayers are definitely with you all. Never want to see loss of life. So we continue to keep praying for you all.
Q. Why do you think you made so many turnovers today? What happened?
TYROD TAYLOR: Bad decisions. Something I need to get better at to give us an opportunity to win games. Especially on the road, turnovers are critical.
Like you said, it's uncharacteristic of me. But it happened today and it's something I have to clean up. And I'll do that moving forward.
Q. You seemed to be constantly under pressure having to get rid of the ball.
TYROD TAYLOR: The guys have done a good job of protecting and battling up front. We knew we were going to get a couple of exotic looks, odd-ball looks that we had to prepare for. We just didn't execute. And that falls on me. And like I said, moving forward I'll be better doing so.
Q. That second interception, were you trying to throw the ball away?
TYROD TAYLOR: I was trying to throw it away. Careless on my part. Just gotta make it clear and get it out of bounds versus leaving it in for the defender to grab it.
Q. Did the time off have anything to do with it?
TYROD TAYLOR: I don't think so. I walked into this game fully confident in my ability to go out and perform. Just was a lack of execution. Like I said, that starts with me. I own up to that. I have to be better for our team to have a chance to win. And I'll be better.
Q. Downfield, seemed to be open. What did you see -- what went through your head on those plays, what happened?
TYROD TAYLOR: The one in particular that I remember is the rollout to Danny on the sideline. That's definitely something, a routine play that we make all the time. I just misfired. Comes with the game. Obviously you want to have those back. I hate incompletions, obviously. You want to have all those back.
But, like I said, it's up to me to execute. Obviously it's a team sport. But I'm the one that touched the ball every play and I have to be better at executing.
Q. How does your hamstring feel?
TYROD TAYLOR: I feel good. My hamstring isn't bothering me.
Q. 1-8 eight game losing streak, a lot of hopes around the team?
TYROD TAYLOR: We regroup. We have a bye week coming in. We regroup and we continue to keep pushing, preparing. And have to go out there and play the rest of the season. Take it one game at a time. Take it one day at a time. As far as hope, it's not a lack of hope.
If anything, guys are eager to get out there and turn it around. I think the bye week comes at a spot where we can regroup and prepare ourselves mentally and physically to get back on the (indiscernible).
Q. A one-year contract, back after injury. Do you view this final stretch run of the season as somewhat of an audition for whether you stay with this team or whether you move forward in your career?
TYROD TAYLOR: I take it one game at a time. I can't look at, obviously, the big picture. I understand walking into the season I was in a one-year contract. And you know what comes with that, each game counts. But that's whether you're in a one-year contract or multiple years.
Each time you get out on the field you want to perform at a high level and give your team an opportunity to win. That's what it really boils down to -- take it one game at a time and continue to keep battling.
