MIAMI GARDENS (CBSMiami/AP) — It was a game that pretty much went as expected in South Florida on Sunday.

Third-string quarterback Charlie Whitehurst came off the bench again for the Indianapolis Colts, who made a last-minute defensive stand to keep alive their faint playoff hopes, beating the Miami Dolphins 18-12.

The Dolphins had a first-and-goal at the 5 with 40 seconds left, but after three consecutive incompletions, rookie center Jamil Douglas appeared to snap the ball prematurely, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill was sacked by three Colts.
