The Indianapolis Colts avoid the 0-4 start to the season with a dominant effort by the team to get the 27-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
All three phases of the game showed up for the organization. The offense established the run for the first time this season and finished drives in the red zone with touchdowns on all three attempts.
The defense only gave up three points for three quarters and that was after a Nyheim Hines muffed punt return that gave Miami great field position. Outside the fumbled return, the special teams were great. Ashton Dulin recovered a muffed punt by Jakeem Grant in the third quarter. Rodrigo Blakenship was perfect on the day, he was 2/2 on his field-goal attempts and all three extra points.
It wasn’t perfect but it was a great team win for Indianapolis and there were some positives that they can look to build upon going forward. Here are my top five takeaways from the matchup:
