It was ugly from the start for the Miami Dolphins. The Indianapolis Colts led 23-0 after three quarters and went on to blow out the Dolphins 33-8.

Following the game, the star receiver for the Dolphins, Tyreek Hill did not mence any words about his feelings on the game.

"This was a big kick in the balls for us."

Tua Tagovailoa went 14 of 23 for just 114 yards, with a single touchdown pass, and two interceptions in the game. He was also sacked three times.

The big story was Hill's lack of production, as he had just four receptions for 40 yards. The lone touchdown for the Dolphins came via Devon Achane from Tagovailoa in the pass game.

On the other side, Daniel Jones was fantastic for the Indianapolis Colts in his debut as the starting signal caller. The former New York Giants quarterback passes for 272 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for an additional 26 yards and scoring twice on the ground.

Miami will look to get on track in Week 2 as they host the New England Patriots. Indianapolis will seek their second in a row, as they remain at home to take on the Denver Broncos.
