MIAMI (AP) -For the Miami Dolphins, the formula didn’t seem to add up.
They held the ball for 45 minutes – three-quarters of the game. They rushed for 239 yards, keeping Peyton Manning off the field most of the night. They didn’t turn the ball over until the game’s final play.
And, somehow, they lost.
Miami’s return to the Monday night stage started with glitz and glamour, an “orange carpet” entry for celebrities like Serena and Venus Williams, a pregame concert by Jimmy Buffett and even the likes of Tiger Woods taking it all in, albeit from the Indianapolis sideline.
It ended with a thud: Colts 27, Dolphins 23, a lump of coal for Miami in its first home Monday night game since Christmas 2006.
