DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -It didn't matter that the Miami Dolphins had an overwhelming statistical advantage in their Monday night game against the Indianapolis Colts. On Tuesday, they still found themselves in a familiar position - 0-2. Dropping the first two games is becoming a bit of a tradition for the Dolphins, who did it for the fourth consecutive season. Notching the first win Sunday at San Diego (1-1) could prove a tough task for Miami, facing a short week and coming off a 27-23 loss to the Colts. The |

"The guys get pressure up front and we make plays in the back end." DOLPHINS: It was a weird Monday night for the Miami Dolphins. Had Miami defeated the Indianapolis Colts and moved to 1-1, it would have been weird funny. Instead, after a frustrating 27-23 loss, it was weird disturbing. Miami ran 84 plays to Indianapolis' 35, and held the ball for more than 45 minutes to fewe |

The scoreboard at the end of the primetime duel at the Miami Dolphins read 27-23 in favor of the visiting Colts...not so surprising for those who have seen Manning win a number of similarly close affairs over the course of his 12-year career.

| Miami, FL (MySportsbook) - Peyton Manning needed the 37th game-winning drive of his illustrious career to surpass Johnny Unitas as the franchise leader in wins among quarterbacks, and the Indianapolis Colts secured a 27-23 victory over the Miami Dolphins at Land Shark Stadium. Manning's offense had the ball for only 14:53 in the entire game, the lowest total for a winning team of any game since 1977 -- Indianapolis ran only 35 plays, while the Dolphins totaled 84. But the reigning NFL MVP completed 14-of-2 |

MIAMI (AP) -For the Miami Dolphins, the formula didn't seem to add up. They held the ball for 45 minutes - three-quarters of the game. They rushed for 239 yards, keeping Peyton Manning off the field most of the night. They didn't turn the ball over until the game's final play. And, somehow, they lost. Miami's return to the Monday night stage started with glitz and glamour, an ``orange carpet'' entry for celebrities like Serena and Venus Williams, a pregame concert by Jimmy Buffett and even the likes |

MIAMI (AP) -Ronnie Brown rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown, and the clock-controlling Miami Dolphins overcame Peyton Manning's longest completion since 2005 to claw into a 13-13 halftime tie with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. Dan Carpenter kicked two second-quarter field goals for the Dolphins, both off the Florida Marlins' infield dirt. The first was a 45-yarder, the second from 44 yards with 43 seconds left.
