The Colts were able to put three more points on the board before halftime with a 35-yard field goal from Shrader, taking a 20-0 lead into halftime. At the half, the Colts held the advantage in just about every statistic: 187-29 passing yards, 68-14 rushing yards, 17-3 total first downs.
Anarumo and his defense picked right back up where they left off in the third quarter as defensive end Laiatu Latu snagged his first interception of his NFL career, reading Tagovailoa perfectly and switching directions to pluck the ball out of thin air.
On the very first play of the second half, Jones filled in the last thing the Colts’ passing game had been without – a deep ball – with a stellar 36-yard completion to wide receiver Alec Pierce. The Colts capped off the drive with a field goal, still yet to punt the ball.
As the fourth quarter began, the Colts continued to dominate in all areas; the Dolphins had held the ball for only 15 minutes all day. With a quarterback sneak at the goal line, Jones extended the Colts’ lead to 30-0 with just over 10 minutes remaining in the game.
The Dolphins reached the red zone for the first time all game on the following drive and pushed a touchdown of their own into the endzone; a successful two-point conversion brought the score to 30-8.
Another field goal from Shrader (48 yards) extended the Colts’ lead and, with just over two minutes left on the clock, effectively sealed the victory.
