The Colts need a lot more than a horseshoe to turn their season around. But they got some good luck from the scheduling gods on Sunday, in the form of a visit from the Dolphins.
Both teams are struggling to say the least. Via NBC Sports research, the 1-7 Dolphins rank 31st in scoring offense, with 15.8 points per game. They’re also 28th in total offense, at 282.3 yards per game.
The Dolphins have been held to 13 or fewer points in five games this season. That’s the most in the league.
And they’re starting Kyle McCord at quarterback, because Malik Willis is on injured reserve.
The Colts haven’t been much better. They’ve lost five in a row since starting the season 2-2. Since Week 12 of the 2025 season, they’re 2-14. That’s the worst record over that span in the entire league.
So, yes, someone has to win. Unless there’s a tie. Which would complicate the four-official road trip to Cincinnati.
