    Dolphins-Colts game recap: Indianapolis 16, Miami 10

    Caradoc Wyn Posted on

    The Indianapolis Colts rebound from a 10-point deficit to claim a 16-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins.

    Anthony Richardson completed 10 of 24 passes for 129 yards and rushed 13 times, a team-leading 56. Tyler Goodson rushes for 51 yards and Indy’s only touchdown. Indianapolis rushes for 155 yards.

    Miami (2-4) rushed for 188 yards, but only found the end zone after a pass from Tyler Huntley to Jonnu Smith (7 catches, 96 yards). The Colts (4-3) ejected Huntley and Tim Boyle entered the game. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle each had 1 catch.

    Grant Stuard had 18 tackles and Zaire Franklin 15 for the Colts, who forced and recovered two fumbles.

    The Colts will face the AFC South leader Houston Texans (5-2) in NFL Week 8.

    Anthony Richardson missed the mark in his comeback from injury, completing 4 of 13 passes for 61 yards. He also lost a fumble in the red zone during a botched handoff to Tyler Goodson. Richardson has 32 rushing yards, but the Colts had three 3-and-out drives.

    Joel A. Erickson, IndyStar: Colts 24-14

    “Miami has plenty of firepower at the skill positions, but deficiencies at quarterback and offensive line have slowed Mike McDaniel’s offense, and the return of Anthony Richardson faces a Miami pass rush that has lost nearly every key contributor this season has.”

    Nate Atkins, IndyStar: Colts 21-18

    “Both offenses are hampered in ways that make it difficult to expect fireworks, but the Colts desperately need them before a brutal five-game stretch, and their defense has found a way to thrive at home against weak opponents of this one Challenge.” Laiatu Latu plays Tyler Huntley to get a narrow win.

    Gregg Doyel, IndyStar: Colts 17-16

    “Colts win a slogfest – not a slugfest, but a slogfest – against the Dolphins, also called the Attrition Bowl. Why Colts? Because why not.”
