Special teams, led by Curtis Johnson and Lloyd Mumphord, and another strong performance from Larry Csonka keyed the Dolphins' seventh win of the season. Miami scored on its opening possession, driving 80 yards with Csonka scoring from the 1. Ten additional points resulted from special teams. Johnson blocked a punt that was recovered by Larry Ball at the Colts' 25. Csonka, who finished with 93 yards, scored a touchdown from the 1. Mumphord slapped down a 54-yard field-goal attempt from Boris Shlapak. It resulted in a Yepremian 24-yard field goal and a 16-0 halftime lead. Morris scored on a 7-yard run in the third quarter to finish the scoring.
