Dolphins Sink Into 23–0 Hole as Turnovers and Special-Teams Miscue Hand Colts Week 1 Control

Turnovers by Tua Tagovailoa, plus a special-teams miscue, underscored an offense far from its explosive identity.

Overview

  • Miami trailed 20-0 at halftime and later 23-0 in the third quarter of its opener against Indianapolis.
  • Tua Tagovailoa committed two first-half turnovers, then threw a third-quarter interception to rookie edge rusher Laiatu Latu.
  • One interception went to safety Cam Bynum after Miami crossed midfield, and the Dolphins produced only 43 first-half yards across three drives.
  • CBS reported Tyreek Hill was visibly frustrated on the sideline as the offense stalled, a flashpoint following offseason trade chatter around the receiver.
  • Colts quarterback Daniel Jones delivered an efficient start, completing 17 of 22 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown before halftime.
