INDIANAPOLIS – Former Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley finally threw his first touchdown in a Miami Dolphins jersey against the Indianapolis Colts in week seven.

In the first half at Lucas Oil Stadium, Huntley completed seven of 11 pass attempts for 87 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 20 yards five times.

The Dolphins led 10-3 at halftime, with Huntley outpointing Anthony Richardson in his return from injury.

It took the former Ute nine quarters of football to find his arm in the end zone, but he finally managed to end that losing streak. The score was also Smith’s first as a Dolphin.
