Sub Whitehurst helps Colts beat Dolphins 18-12
The Miami Dolphins host the Indianapolis Colts in one of the National Football League games on Sunday, December 27 start time at 1:00 PM ET, at Sun Life Stadium, Miami, FL.

For those who’ve lost track, Hasselbeck has started eight games, including six straight, while dealing with a serious intestinal disorder and back, shoulder, rib and jaw injuries.
A lot of that volatility can be attributed to the Indianapolis Colts ‘ instability at the quarterback position and, unfortunately for Hilton, things don’t appear to be getting much better in Week 17.
Whitehurst completed a third-down pass on his first play, setting up the Colts’ second touchdown for a 15-6 lead.
However, Whitehurst suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter that had him limping noticeably. If The Dolphins emerged as victors in the game, they would eliminate Colts from the playoffs. But Ryan Tannehill threw three incompletions and then was sacked by three Colts, with Robert Mathis leading the charge. Well, the announced attendance count of 65,482 was actually a couple of hundred customers higher on Sunday, and that’s with Campbell clearly on his way out and the postseason door long shut and the team’s one Pro Bowler, center Mike Pouncey, on the inactive list.
The Colts got the last laugh, though, in their 18-12 win. On an offense that has now failed to score 20 points in 12 of the 15 games or a defense that seems equally inconsistent at stopping the run and the pass?
“I’ll be all right”, Tannehill said when asked how he’s feeling physically, and by inference whether next week’s season finale against New England is a go.
The D-line out consistent pressure on the quarterback, and even if Miami’s running game did find some traction after halftime, it is hard to fault a unit that was considered the weakest on the team coming into the year.
Hasselbeck wasn’t optimistic he could overcome his latest injury, a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder that knocked him out of a fourth consecutive game. We need a little bit of help. The Colts had six sacks, including rookie T.Y. McGill’s first career sack for a safety when he tackled Tannehill in the end zone for the game’s first points.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Miami’s last 5 games when playing Indianapolis. Lamar Miller’s 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter was the Dolphins’ only touchdown. “There are enough mistakes to go around, offensively and defensively”.
Once again, as they have so many times this season, the Dolphins simply didn’t measure up. None of them. The Colts defenders jumped the ball and was in the back-field before one single lineman had come out of their stance.

For his part, Jarvis Landry was nearly non-existent through three quarters totally only one reception. Defensive end Kendall Langford (ex-Dolphins) had two sacks, and cornerback Vontae Davis (drafted by the Dolphins) had an interception.
