Daniel Jones threw one touchdown pass and ran for two more in his Indianapolis debut to lead the host Colts to a comfortable 33-8 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
Jones, who won the job over Anthony Richardson in the preseason, completed 22 of 29 passes for 272 yards, and the Colts (1-0) forced three early turnovers to score 30 unanswered points.
Indianapolis won its season opener for the first time since 2013 when it beat the Oakland Raiders at home.
The Dolphins lost their season opener for the first time under head coach Mike McDaniel and for the first time since a 21-11 loss at New England in 2020.
The Colts scored on all seven of their possessions while the Dolphins (0-1) turned the ball over on three of their first four possessions leading to 17 Indianapolis points.
