Miami knocks off Colts 16-12
(INDIANAPOLIS) – The Miami Dolphins suddenly has put together a winning combination. Their defense is forcing turnovers. Their offense is capitalizing on the miscues. And when they need a big stop they're getting those, too. Ryan Fitzpatrick scrambled for an 11 yard touchdown run Sunday, the Dolphins converted three Colts turnovers into 13 points and the defense preserved a 16-12 victory at Indianapolis with a red-zone stop in the final minute. That's major progress for a team that opened this season with seven straight losses and finally ended a 10-game skid last week. Now the Dolphins (2-7) have consecutive victories for the first time since December, the third time in two seasons and their first road win since September 2018. Miami won this one despite gaining only 229 yards and scoring one TD, courtesy of the nimble feet of the 36 year old Fitzpatrick , who wasn't even sure he'd make it to the end zone. But the Colts didn't help themselves, either. Brian Hoyer started in place of the injured Jacoby Brissett at quarterback and struggled mightily. Indy (5-4) gained only 300 total yards and while Hoyer completed just 18 of 39 passes with one touchdown and three interceptions, all of which led to Miami scores. Adam Vinatieri tied Morten Andersen's league record for field goal attempts (709) when he made a 39 yarder with 38 seconds left in the third quarter. Vinatieri has made a league record 596 field goals in his career.
