Immediate Reactions
The Dolphins started the second half like it was a second half. They looked out of rhythm and unable to get anything started on offense or shut down anything on defense.
Yep. This definitely looked like the second-half Dolphins.
And then, they found some success. The defense woke up a little, forcing just field goals from the Colts.
Man, I miss Xavien Howard.
Hahahahahahahaha! That’s two in a row!
