INDIANAPOLIS – Former Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley was finally able to throw his first touchdown in a Miami Dolphins jersey against the Indianapolis Colts in week seven.

Set up on the 11-yard line, Huntley checked down to Jonnu Smith who navigated through Colts defenders for six.

In the first half at Lucas Oil Stadium, Huntley completed seven of 11 pass attempts for 87 yards and a touchdown. He also scrambled five times for 20 yards.

The Dolphins led 10-3 at the break with Huntley outplaying Anthony Richardson in his return from injury.

It took 9 quarters of football for the former Ute to find the end zone with his arm but he was eventually able to end that drought. The score was also Smith’s first as a Dolphin.

In his first two games with Miami, Huntley completed 32 of 53 passes for 290 yards.

The Dolphins only found the end zone once in his first two starts. That was on a scramble-and-score against Tennessee in week five.
