Colts' Struggling Offense Does Just Enough to Beat Dolphins 24-22 and Snap 5-Game Skid
A defensive touchdown and late stops helped Indianapolis end a five-game losing streak as Miami missed two field goals and a tying 2-point try.
On Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Miami Dolphins 24-22 at Lucas Oil Stadium, snapping a five-game losing streak.
Kyle McCord made his first NFL start for Miami replacing injured Malik Willis, while the Colts improved to 3-7 after trading away receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Downs.
Indianapolis defensive lineman Adetomiwa Adebawore recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown, while Miami kicker Zane Gonzalez missed three field goal attempts, including a 51-yarder.
After McCord scored on a 3-yard run, Miami failed to convert a two-point attempt to tie, and the Colts' defense stopped the Dolphins on downs at the 8-yard line.
The Colts visit Houston on Thursday to attempt sweeping the season series, while the Dolphins travel to face the Buffalo Bills next Sunday.
