What a game from the Hoosier dome between division rivals . The Dolphins strike first as they recover a Dickerson fumble on the Colts 36 yards line on the opening drive of the game . Marino connects with Staford on a screen pass from 13 yards away to take a 7-0 lead. On the Colts next possession they drive right down the field putting together a 13 play 80 yard drive as Dickerson redeems his fumble and scores from 5 yards away to even the game at 7. On the next 2 possessions Marino throws a pick and Chandler matches him a pick. Dolphins kicker Reveiz misses a 45 yard field goal with 12 minutes left in the half . Then Chandler throws his second pick of the game incredibly Marino gives it right back with his 2nd pick of the game as the teams just trade turnovers . The Colts take a 14-7 lead into the half as they go on a 9 play 80 yard drive capped off with Dickerson scoring his 2nd TD from 7 yards out .
The Dolphins tie the score at 14 taking their opening possession of the second half 9 plays 80 yards capped off by Hamptons 2 yard TD Run . On the Colts opening possession Chandler is picked off for the 3rd time in the game on his own 41 yard the defense allow a 40 yard field goal attempt which is again missed by Reveiz and the score stays notted at 14. As the game approached the end of the 3rd Chandler was picked off for the 4th time this time on his own 31 yard line Marino wasted no time connecting Clayton from 31 yards out giving the Dolphins a 21-14 lead going into the 4th. QB Change time for the Colts as Gary Hogaboom replaced the ineffective rookie . Hogaboom connects on 3 passes and Dickerson finishes off the drive with a 3 yard TD run tying the game at 21 with 10.36left. Marino take the next possession right down to the colts 23 ydl b/f the drive stalled out trotted old reliable Reveiz this time however he connects from yards out to give the Dolphins a 3 point lead with 5:18 to go. Hogaboom leads the Colts back going 4-5 on the drive good for 46 yards this time Bentley caps the drive from 7 yards out to give the Colts the game 28-24 with just 38 seconds left Marino could not pull off the miracle . They did however play a great game as the Colts came into the game as 13 point favorites but where lucky to escape with a win . Dickerson garners game MVP with 133 yards on 28 carries and 3 TD
next week Miami host the Vikings and the Colts travel to New England
