NFL Hawaii Tracker: Buckner, Colts Defense Dominate as Season Kicks Off

The Miami Dolphins struggled with multiple injuries and turnovers, while the Indianapolis Colts capitalized to lead 30-8 in the first game of the 2025 NFL season.

  • On Sunday, Sept. 7, the Miami Dolphins opened their season with a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium, where the Indianapolis Colts beat them 33-8.
  • After a tumultuous offseason, the Miami Dolphins arrived in Indianapolis following a salary-cap reset that cut core players, raising low expectations and added pressure for head coach Mike McDaniel.
  • Turnovers and sacks defined Miami's afternoon as Tua Tagovailoa threw two interceptions, lost a fumble, was sacked three times, and the Colts offense scored on all seven possessions.
  • Jaelan Phillips said, `This isn't going to shake our confidence`, and the Dolphins prepare for next Sunday's home opener against the New England Patriots.
  • With Week 1 losses raising stakes, head coach Mike McDaniel faces pressure to act fast to save his job, while some observers say a quarterback change to Zach Wilson may be needed if struggles continue.
