Anthony Richardson passed for 129 yards and rushed for 56 to help the Indianapolis Colts squeeze out a 16-10 victory over the visiting Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
Richardson missed the previous two games with an oblique injury but helped the Colts (4-3) win their second straight game. Tyler Goodson ran for a score, Grant Stuard racked up 18 tackles and Matt Gay kicked three field goals for Indianapolis.
Miami quarterback Tyler Huntley exited midway through the third quarter with an injury to his right throwing shoulder. Huntley completed 7 of 13 passes for 87 yards and one touchdown before exiting. He rushed for 20 yards on five carries.
Tim Boyle took over when Miami next had the ball and went the rest of the way, completing 8 of 13 passes for 74 yards. The Dolphins remain without Tua Tagovailoa, who sustained a concussion in Week 2.
Jonnu Smith had seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown for the Dolphins (2-4), who have lost four of their past five games. Tyreek Hill had just one catch for 8 yards, and Jaylen Waddle had one for 11 yards.
Miami took over with 1:51 left, and the drive started with an 8-yard pass to Hill. The Dolphins later faced fourth-and-2 from the Indianapolis 33-yard line, and Boyle's last-ditch throw was errant and out of bounds with seven seconds left. The Colts ran out the clock.
Indianapolis star running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) missed his third straight game.
The Colts took their first lead at 13-10 when Gay kicked a 22-yard field goal with 8:41 left in the contest.
Miami had a chance to tie the score, but Jason Sanders' 54-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright and was no good with 5:14 remaining.
Gay added on a 38-yarder with 1:51 left to boost the Indianapolis lead to six.
Earlier, Indianapolis knotted the score at 10 on Goodson's 7-yard touchdown run with 9:08 left in the third quarter. The score was set up when Miami's Raheem Mostert lost a fumble and Segun Olubi of the Colts recovered it and ran 18 yards to the Miami 28-yard line.
Miami got on the scoreboard first as Huntley hit Smith on a 10-yard throw with 5:56 left in the first quarter. Sanders tacked on a 33-yard field goal with 22 seconds left in the half.
Indianapolis countered with Gay's 52-yard field goal as time expired in the first half.
