Colts take down Dolphins after dominant defensive second half

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Colts beat the Dolphins 16-10 to get their second win in a row.

The Colts scored 16 unanswered points after falling behind 10-0 at the end of the first half.

The Colts defense clamped down on the Dolphins in the second half, holding them scoreless in the last 30 minutes of game time.

They also forced two turnovers and got two sacks.

“I got to coach better on offense and help the guys out, but finding ways to win in this league, that’s all that matters,” Colts head coach Shane Steichen said. “You win the game. We talk about keys to victory and I say it every Wednesday morning, our number one key to victory is to win the football game, no matter how we do that.”

Anthony Richardson went 10/24 for 129 yards in his return from his injury. He also rushed for 57 yards, the most by a Colts player in the game.

“It doesn’t really boost my confidence much,” Richardson said. “It makes me feel good to let me know that we got the “W” as a team.”

Tyler Goodson got the Colts lone touchdown. He rushed for 57 yards.

“There’s a lot of guys stepping up and playing the next man role and it just shows the preparation that everybody in this locker room puts in and the hard work they put into this game, because it’s not an easy game to go out there and win,” Goodson said.

Michael Pittman Jr. was the Colts leading receiver, with three catches for 63 yards.

The Colts move to 4-3 with the win. They face the Texans in Houston at 1 p.m. next week.
