Darius Leonard goes ‘Inside the Huddle’ after the Colts lose to the Dolphins – WTHR

INDIANAPOLIS (AP/WTHR) The Colts fell to the Dolphins Sunday 16-12.

Brian Hoyer started in place of the injured Jacoby Brissett at quarterback and struggled mightily. Indy (5-4) gained only 300 total yards and while Hoyer completed just 18 of 39 passes with one touchdown and three interceptions, all of which led to Miami scores.

The first came when Steven Parker wrestled the ball away from Eric Ebron in the end zone and set up a 47-yard field goal.

The second set up Fitzpatrick's scoring run, and the third set up a 48-yard field goal that made it 16-12 after Adam Vinatieri missed his sixth extra point of the season a miss that caused the Colts to need a touchdown when they reached the Miami 16-yard line with less than a minute to play instead of a tying field goal.

Hoyer took three chances at the end zone with all three falling incomplete. The fourth pass was an 8-yard completion to Eric Ebron on fourth-and-10, sealing Miami's victory.

"We had plenty of time and timeouts to go, so all of those passes we threw had underneath options," coach Frank Reich said after losing his second straight regular-season game for the first time since October 2018.

"We got to go back to the drawing board, see what went wrong, fix our mistakes," said Darius Leonard, linebacker.

Leonard is partnering with Riley Childrens Foundation and Republic Airways all season to help raise funds for Riley Hospital for Children.

Riley surgeons successfully removed his kidney and the tumor, and Carter went through six months of radiation and chemotherapy. Carters family is grateful to share that he has been in remission since October 2015! He continues to visit Riley Hospital, his home away from home, every six months for checkups.
