Second half Miami Dolphins vs Indianapolis Colts week 9

Neither team able to convert on their first possession of the half and the Dolphins get the ball back with another chance to extend their current lead against the Colts.

The Colts defense seems to be coming alive a little better this quarter and manage to stop the Miami defense deep in their own territory and force them to punt. The score still stands at 17 to 13.

This time around Indy does a good job and makes a throw that could have been intercepted but was not and the Colts get the touchdown. The score is now 20 to 17 and the Colts lead for the first time in the football game.

Early in the 4th quarter and Miami is stopped for getting a touchdown once again but they manage to get the field goal. This ties up the game with a score of 20 to 20.

The Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has been very effective in converting 3rd and long and he does so again on this drive. A couple of really good plays and they get into Dolphin end of the field but they are stopped and forced to take the field goal. This gives the lead back to Indianapolis at 23 to 20 with just under 6 minutes left in the game.

Possibly one of the most important drives of the game for Miami and they falter a bit before they are able to get into their opponents territory and they must punt the ball with a little over 3 minutes left on the clock.

The Colts must control the ball as well as the clock and protect the ball. They do not convert and must punt the football. Miami has just over 2 minutes to score and tie it up or go for the win.

At the 2 minute warning Miami has just made it to mid field. Both teams have 2 time outs left so this game has played out to be exciting and close right up until the end.

With 1 minute 30 plus seconds left on the clock a holding call on 4th and 15 against Miami gives the ball back to the Colts. Unless the Dolphins defense can make a big play the Colts have the game won.

You gotta give kudos to Andrew Luck the Colts quarterback. For a rookie this guy played a great game. In fact he now has the rookie record of 433 passing yards.

The Indianapolis Colts win the game with a 23 to 20 score.
