Miami, surprised at home by Indianapolis two weeks earlier, used a pair of touchdown passes by Dan Marino and short TD runs by Mark Higgs and Tony Paige to beat the Colts. It was the Colts' second straight shutout loss since their 31-20 victory at Miami, and it snapped the Dolphins' losing streak at two games. Higgs rushed for 107 yards. Marino hit 22 of 28 passes for 245 yards, including 186 yards and touchdowns to Keith Jackson and Fred Banks in the first half as the Dolphins (7-2) took a 21-0 lead. The Colts (4-5) crossed midfield only once in the first half and reached the Miami 30 early in the second quarter when Rohn Stark faked a punt and passed 17 yards to Mike Prior. Two plays later, a pass by Jeff George was intercepted by Vestee Jackson, and Indianapolis did not get another first down before halftime. Miami struck on the opening drive of the game. Marino completed five straight passes in a 10-play, 69-yard drive, hitting Keith Jackson for a two-yard touchdown. A 44-yard kickoff return by the Colts' Clarence Verdin was called back by a holding penalty, and the Colts reached the 37 before two more penalties and a sack on George forced a punt.
