Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa threw 2 interceptions, fumbled and was sacked 3 times, the Miami defense allowed QB Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis offense to put up historic numbers, and the Miami Dolphins were blown out by the Colts 33-8 in the season opener for both teams.

The loss is Miami’s 1st in 5 years on opening day under Head Coach Mike McDaniel.

The win is the Colts’ 1st on opening day in 12 years. It comes on the 1st opener since beloved Owner Jim Irsay passed away this May.
