Dolphins botch last snap and lose to Colts 18-12

None of those desperation excuses worked.
“I’m not ruling anything out, but I’m not super optimistic about a seven-day return right now, ” Hasselbeck said after the Colts’ 18-12 win over the Dolphins.
The Dolphins had a chance to win this one in dramatic fashion.
The Indianapolis Colts sacked the quarterback Sunday in hopes of saving their season. The Dolphins entered the game already assured of their second losing season in the last four years, and their seventh in the last 10 years. After two seasons and 21 starts with the Titans, Hasselbeck joined the Colts in 2013 to back up Andrew Luck.
Notes: Dolphins LB Jelani Jenkins aggravated an ankle injury and left the game in the third quarter…. The offense that was ranked 29th in the National Football League in yards per game (322) and 26th in points per game (19.9) was inept once again. Yet when they finally needed him he was gone, signing with Denver after he spent weeks on and off Miami’s roster while the team tinkered with the bottom of the lineup. Wide receiver Andre Johnson (University of Miami) had three catches for 39 yards.
Miami’s final offensive play – a sack on fourth-and-goal at the 5-yard line – illustrates the trauma Tannehill has endured not just this season, but his entire career courtesy of this much-maligned offensive line. The first game of his streak came on November 16, 2008. But the fact that he came so close to having to take center stage tells you all you need to know about how this season has played out.
Whitehurst benefited from a Colts defense that took advantage of Miami’s consistent offensive missteps to hold on for the victory.
Examples are everywhere. Brent Grimes intercepts a pass, but the play is negated when he is called for holding. For the season, Landry has now eclipsed 100 receptions becoming the first player in team history to reach that mark.
Indy backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck departed with an injury for the fourth game in a row, and Whitehurst did just enough in relief, completing two scoring drives. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw for 216 yards in 20 of 34 passes.
Whitehurst was limping after being sacked on third down with three minutes left, and the Colts had no quarterbacks left to replace him.
The 40-year-old veteran took a big hit by Dolphins defensive tackle Jordan Phillips in the second quarter of Sunday’s matchup in Miami and was later ruled out for the rest of the game. Tannehill was sacked six times during the Dolphins’ loss, which dropped the team to 5-10. After the safety, Brent Grimes picked off Matt Hasselbeck in Colts territory in the first quarter, but that was wiped out by a holding flag against Grimes.
“That’s all we’ve been talking about this whole week–just getting back home, getting some of that warm weather”, a smiling T.Y.

The Colts added another touchdown on their next possession when Gore, the former University of Miami standout, rumbled 37 yards for a touchdown and a 8-0 lead after the missed extra point.
