![]() The Colts are limping into what has loosely been named “the Jacoby Brissett revenge game”. It will be a hard-fought battle into the fourth quarter but Indianapolis takes a methodical time-consuming drive to take the lead late and the defense holds on to help give the team their first win of the season. Carson Wentz and the offense finally look like a real offense by converting drives into touchdowns as Jonathan Taylor goes on to have his best game of the season. It does help that they have the scouting report on how to defend Jacoby Brissett and they are facing one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL.ĭeForest Buckner and company end up dominating the trenches early to offset any rhythm that Miami tries to get going early in the game. The injury-riddled Colts have their backs against the wall as they look to save their season by getting a win over the Dolphins. With the injuries mounting and the poor play on both sides of the ball, I don’t have confidence in safely predicting a win. This is going to be an ugly game for both teams. However, the Colts defense hasn’t played like we thought they could, and the unit is also dealing with injuries. They know him better than anyone, and he’s unlikely to torch the Colts defense. ![]() The advantage the Colts do have is the fact that they’re going up against Jacoby Brissett. With Carson Wentz still limited by his sprained ankles, that is likely to spell trouble for the offense. Both Quenton Nelson and Braden Smith have been ruled out against what has been one of the best pass rushes in the NFL to open the season. The biggest issue in this matchup is the offensive line for the Colts. But with five starters ruled out and another four likely to play through injury, it will be too much for Indy to overcome. There is a lot going against the Colts in this matchup and had they not been so marred by injury, I might feel differently about the outcome of this game. Here’s how the Colts Wire staff sees this game shaking out in South Beach: The experts around the league believe that’s likely the case while Vegas shares the same notion. With a battered roster, the Colts find themselves with their backs against the wall looking to avoid an 0-4 start. The Indianapolis Colts (0-3) are set for a road visit to Hard Rock Stadium taking on the Miami Dolphins (1-2) in Week 4.
