Overview

• Indianapolis routed Miami 33-8 and became the first NFL team since at least 2000 to score on every possession, per CBS Sports Research, with NFL RedZone noting a comparable benchmark not seen since 1991.
• Daniel Jones completed 22 of 29 passes for 272 yards with one passing touchdown and two goal-line rushing scores, avoiding interceptions and taking one sack.
• The victory ended the Colts’ Week 1 drought that stretched back to 2013.
• ESPN’s Ben Solak argued the performance revealed little against a depleted Dolphins secondary and said Anthony Richardson could have led a similar 33-point output.
• Coverage casts Week 2 against the Broncos—Indianapolis’ home opener at Lucas Oil Stadium—as a more telling measure for Jones and Shane Steichen’s quarterback decision.
