Another game in the books, another disappointing finish for the (5-10) Miami Dolphins, this time against a (7-8) Indianapolis Colts team who had their third string quarterback running the offense. Nevertheless, the Colts aren’t nearly as responsible for beating Miami as much as the Fins simply beat themselves.
Even though the game was anything but clean, truth is that the Dolphins shot themselves too many times in the foot to come away victorious. Miami committed 9 penalties for 50 yards; however, the timing of this team’s mishaps is what truly did this ballclub in.
“[Penalties] crept up again and they cost us in critical times,” said a spent Dolphins interim head coach Dan Campbell in his post-game presser.
