Late Push Helps Colts Edge Dolphins

Last updated on Monday, November 26, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - Andrew Luck threw three touchdown passes while Adam Vinateri drilled a game-winning 32-yard field goal as time expired as the Indianapolis Colts won a thriller over the Miami Dolphins 27-24 for their fifth straight win.

The Colts scored 13 points in the final 8.5 minutes of the game to erase a 10-point deficit and head coach Frank Reich said it showed how much this team has turned things around.

"We lost games like this at the beginning of the year and I think the growth is the belief. The belief that we have the players to do it. That we have the players to do it and we should do it."

Luck finished the game 30-for-37 for 343 yards, 3 touchdowns, two interceptions and also hauled in his first catch of his NFL career, a 4-yard reception on fourth-and-1 late in the first half. T.Y. Hilton hauled in seven catches for 125 yards.

The Colts push their record a game over .500 at 6-5 and their five-game winning streak is the Colts longest winning streak since 2014. They next play the first of two crucial division road games against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
