The Miami Dolphins’ first game without starting quarterback Malik Willis is unfortunately going as expected.
The team’s second half began in the worst way possible as Kyle McCord fumbled the ball, which resulted in a Colts touchdown to increase Miami’s deficit.
On the ensuing drive, things worsened for the Dolphins despite securing three points with a field goal. One play after the Dolphins gained 31 yards after an impressive catch by wide receiver Malik Washington, running back Ollie Gordon exited the game with an injury.
UPDATE: Ollie Gordon returned on the team’s ensuing drive. CBS’ Sports Aditi Kinkhabwala reported that Gordon had the wind knocked out of the him on the tackle.
