Luck lifts Colts against Dolphins

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck threw three touchdown passes, Adam Vinatieri kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired and the Indianapolis Colts beat the Miami Dolphins 27-24 on Sunday for their fifth consecutive victory.

Indianapolis (6-5) scored 13 points in the final 8 1/2 minutes to erase a 10-point deficit. It's the longest win streak for the Colts since 2014.

Miami (5-6) has lost 10 of its last 11 on the road, perhaps none more frustrating than this one. The Dolphins picked off Luck twice, recovered a fumble and partially blocked a punt on their way to a 24-14 lead.

It still wasn't enough to derail the resurgent Luck, who was 30 of 37 for 343 yards. He also had the first catch of his NFL career, a 4-yard reception on fourth-and-1 late in the first half. Luck capped that drive with a 1-yard TD pass to Jack Doyle.

It was all Indy after Kenyan Drake's 14-yard TD run for Miami with 13:36 left.

Vinatieri kicked a 46-yard field goal with 8:26 to play. The Colts' defense then forced a three-and-out and Luck found Eric Ebron for a 12-yard touchdown pass, tying it at 24 with 4:25 left.

After a personal foul on Xavien Howard following the score and a holding penalty on the ensuing kickoff, Miami went threeand-out again and Luck burned the final 2:38 to set up Vinatieri's winner.

Luck has thrown at least three TD passes in eight consecutive games, tying Peyton Manning for the second-longest streak in NFL history. Only Tom Brady's 10-game streak was longer.

Ebron finished with five receptions for 45 yards and two scores.
