Colts win the turnover battle and the game
Dolphins could not stop handing it over, and Colts made it count — 17-14. Jonathan Taylor carried the load for Colts — 32 carries, 161 yards, 1 TD. De'Von Achane carried the load for Dolphins — 5 carries, 80 yards, 1 TD — in a losing effort. That is 6 straight games over 100 for Jonathan Taylor. Total yards: Colts 262, Dolphins 182.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dolphins | -16.1 | +1.3 | -17.4 | -7 |
| Colts | -0.2 | -2.9 | +2.7 | +10 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.

IN THE BOOTH
Devon Walker
Beat reporter
Miami turned the ball over twice and couldn't stay on the field — Indianapolis won this one on discipline, with Jonathan Taylor running for 161 yards while the Colts kept their hands clean.

Miami's 0-6 record stops being unlucky and starts being real when you're losing to a team that threw 8 passes and still had 80 yards in the air—that's not discipline beating you, that's an offense so broken it doesn't need to work hard to win.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers —
none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that
did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
