The Indianapolis Colts (2-7)(-3.5) host the Miami Dolphins (1-7), in what should be a ‘thrilling’ 1 PM EST kickoff battle between two really bad teams these days.
We’ve come a long way from seeing Dan Marino vs. Peyton Manning.
For those watching, the game will be shown on CBS with Spero Dedes (play-by-play) and analyst Adam Archuleta handling the viewing call. This one can also be streamed on NFL+ and YouTubeTV. Here is the NFL TV map.
Regarding those tuning it, the Colts game will be aired locally
on 97.1 Hank FM with Matt Taylor (play-by-play), Charles Arbuckle (analyst), and Larra Overton (sideline) on the call. Sirius XM subscribers can listen in nationally on Channel 196 (or stream on the app Channel 813).
The Dolphins come in scoring the league’s 31st most points (15.8 avg. ppg), while their defense allows the 24th most points (25.0 avg. ppg). Meanwhile, the Colts offense scores the 24th most points (20.4 avg. ppg), and their defense surrenders the NFL’s 30th most points (27.7 avg. ppg.).
The roof will be officially closed for tomorrow’s game.
The officiating unit will be lead official Don Willard and his crew. Willard is replacing Carl Cheffers, who was originally assigned this matchup, but was scratched because of the nationwide FAA ground stop delays.
The Dolphins lead the all-time series 48-30-0, but the Colts actually won handedly, 33-8 at home, the most recent time these two teams met, which was just last season, on September 7, 2025.
