Indianapolis (7-8), playing without star quarterback Andrew Luck, who has been sidelined the past eight weeks due to abdomen and kidney injuries, ended a three-game losing streak with the victory.
The Dolphins' offense that was ranked 29th in the NFL in yards per game (322) and 26th in points per game (19.9) was inept once again. This was the sixth game they failed to score more than 14 points.
The Dolphins trailed, 15-6, at halftime meaning they've been outscored, 38-6, in the first half the last two weeks.
The Colts, who were down to third-string quarterback Charlie Whitehurst by the end of the first half, were led by running back Frank Gore's 85 yards on 15 carries. Gore had touchdown runs of 37 and 11 yards.
Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, starting in place of Luck, was injured late in the second quarter after Dolphins defensive tackle Jordan Phillips planted him in the ground on a pass play.
Whitehurst came in the game and threw an 11-yard pass to wide receiver Andre Johnson on third-and-10, then handed off to Gore for an 11-yard touchdown run and a 15-6 Colts lead.
Campbell said Douglas had "ups and downs" during the game.
"I can't say it wasn't my fault," Douglas said. "I mean, it [was] my fault. I should have been locked in on that play, but like I said, bad play by me."
The Dolphins looked uninspired on defense and painfully felt the loss of center Mike Pouncey.

The PN had proposed that parties “be allowed to own shares in commercial companies, [but] not serve as a means to circumvent the legislation regulating party financing” in written submissions on party financing rules, according to documents revealed by Justice Minister Owen Bonnici on the TVM’s Xtra.
Bonnici said the submissions of 28 March 2014 forwarded by then secretary-general Chris Said, had also recommended that loans of €10,000-€25,000 by any individual that is not a bank or financial institution, “be registered by name and other details in the party’s books which would be made available for inspection by the Standards Commission”.
The minister accused the PN of breaking the spirit of that same proposal in the cedoli scheme it had introduced to avoid external oversight.
Bonnici said the people expected politicians to act in a way that inspires confidence and trust. “As to the suggestion that political parties be funded by the state, I do not think the public will agree to finance political parties, although I am open to a frank discussion on the matter,” he said.
Bonnici said Labour had a clear conscience on any links with Silvio Debono or the db Group, which was awarded the contentious €60 million ITS site concession, he said. “The only money Silvio Debono ever gave the Labour Party was a €2,000 donation given directly to the Mellieha Labour committee,” he said.
The minister also said he was unconvinced of the merits of having full-time MPs, saying they would face a dilemma as to whether to serve in politics or pursue a private career.
Bonnici also said he was disgusted at attacks on the memory of Guido de Marco, the late President and father of PN deputy leader Mario de Marco, by Malta Independent columnist Daphne Caruana Galizia. “We can sit down and analyse what Guido de Marco did for the country, what Giannella de Marco has achieved, and then we can see what Caruana Galizia has done for this country,” he said.

Just a couple of days back, we had reported that the Azhar star Emraan Hashmi would soon be turning producer. Well now we hear that Emraan who has already commenced work on his debut production venture has roped in the Fast & Furious cinematographer Amir Mokri for his film.
While there were reports that the acclaimed Iranian cinematographer, Amir Mokri who has worked on films like Fast & Furious, Transformers: Dark Of The Moon and Man Of Steel (2013), to name a few, was to join Tony D’Souza’s Azhar, he dropped out citing date issues. However, considering that Emraan is setting up his production banner Emraan Hashmi Films in collaboration with Tony, the duo approached Mokri to come on board for their maiden venture.
Though Emraan is in the process of finalizing two scripts, the actor is currently gearing up for his next release as an actor. As for the production venture the said film once finalized will be co-produced and directed by Tony D’Souza.

Donald Trump has won the presidency in a stunning upset that surprised pollsters and media alike.
Hillary Clinton called Trump to concede the election shortly after Wisconsin was called for the Republican candidate, sealing his victory.
The former secretary of state did not make a concession speech, instead she allowed advisor John Podesta to tell the crowd at her party in New York’s Javits Center to go home. She’s expected to make a concession speech this morning.
Oakland, New York, Los Angeles and Washington DC have seen anti-Trump protests overnight, burning Trump effigies and smashing a window at the Oakland Tribune.
The Republicans won big all round - maintaining and strengthening its control of the Senate 51-47 after wins in Florida, Pennsylvania and Indiana. Congress also remains Republican controlled 236-191.
Asian stocks and the US dollar dropped after news of a likely Trump win - and bounced back slightly overnight, but all eyes on the market this morning.

Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, reacted to Trump’s win by saying that it would not change the trajectory of his country’s foreign policy and that the US’s credibility among the international community had already diminished, reports Saeed Kamali Dehghan.
The country’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, meanwhile, said that the US had to continue respecting last year’s landmark nuclear agreement, whose fate rests much in the hands of the new American president. “America has to implement the international obligation it accepted under the nuclear deal,” he was quoted as saying by the semi-official Tasnim news agency while on an official visit to Romania.
Earlier on Wednesday, a spokesman for Iran’s atomic energy agency said that Tehran would continue abiding by the nuclear accord despite Trump’s win. Tasnim cited Behrouz Kamalvandi as saying that “Iran is prepared for all kind of change” and that the country “would continue implementing the Barjam,” Iranian acronym of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or the final nuclear accord.
Tasnim, which is affiliated to the elite Iranian Revolutionary Guards, saw Donald Trump’s win as a vindication for the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said last week that the American businessman appeared to be the one saying the truth about the state of affairs in the US.
Fouad Izadi, a political analyst sympathetic to the conservative camp in Iran, said Trump’s presidency would be better for Iran than that of Clinton’s. “The only advantage of having Trump over Clinton in regards to Iran is that he would have much more difficulties in bringing together the international community in order to make obstacles for Iran,” he told Tasnim.
Analysts such as Izadi think that pressure on Iran in the past was because Obama had managed to persuade the US’s European allies to rally behind Washington in imposing sanctions on Iran. They think Trump lacks the credibility to do so in case the nuclear deal falls apart.
Many in Britain and elsewhere will be understandably shocked by Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, the rhetoric around it and what the election result means for the rest of the world, as well as America.
Trump’s election is an unmistakable rejection of a political establishment and an economic system that simply isn’t working for most people. It is one that has delivered escalating inequality and stagnating or falling living standards for the majority, both in the US and Britain.
This is a rejection of a failed economic consensus and a governing elite that has been seen not to have listened. And the public anger that has propelled Donald Trump to office has been reflected in political upheavals across the world.
But some of Trump’s answers to the big questions facing America, and the divisive rhetoric around them, are clearly wrong.
I have no doubt, however, that the decency and common sense of the American people will prevail, and we send our solidarity to a nation of migrants, innovators and democrats.
After this latest global wake up call, the need for a real alternative to a failed economic and political system could not be clearer.
That alternative must be based on working together, social justice and economic renewal, rather than sowing fear and division. And the solutions we offer have to improve the lives of everyone, not pit one group of people against another.
Americans have made their choice. The urgent necessity is now for us all to work across continents to tackle our common global challenges: to secure peace, take action on climate change and deliver economic prosperity and justice.
After an initial panic, the financial markets are coming to terms with Donald Trump’s shock victory, reports the Guardian’s Graeme Wearden.
Trump’s call for America to “come together as one united people” has provided some comfort to shell-shocked investors. They are hoping that the president elect, after running such a divisive campaign, may be planning to soften his rhetoric.
Britain’s main stock index, the FTSE 100, has recovered from an early-morning slump and is now flat.
Losses are expected on Wall Street when trading begins in four hours time. The futures market says the Dow will fall by around 300 points, or nearly 2%. That’s a significant drop, but not the 800-point plunge we expected when the shock results rolled in last night.
The dollar also recovered some ground after Trump pledged to create “the strongest economy in the world” and is now down 0.5% against a basket of currencies. The Mexican peso has also struggled back off the mat, after hitting a record low overnight.
Ultimately, investors had expected Hillary Clinton to win - so they’re now scrambling to work out what Trump’s victory is going to mean for the US economy, global trade and geopolitical stability.
“It is worth remembering that Trump started a “movement”, now he has to turn that into a political machine capable of ruling. We won’t know if he can be successful until he actually takes office in January.
The audience at Clinton’s alma mater, Wellesley College, booed the announcement that Trump had won Ohio, reports the Guardian’s Megan Carpentier.
Shortly after midnight, when CNN showed Trump pulling away from Clinton in Pennsylvania, a few women shouted “No!” and “Why?” at no one in particular as the catering staff packed up the bar and dispatched the remains of the cheese plates and buffet sandwiches. More and more women could be seen crying on one another’s shoulders, while one group of women (and a couple of male friends) gave the middle finger to CNN’s Jake Tapper on the large screen.
Tempestt Morgan – still hoping against hope for a Clinton victory at 12:30am – wasn’t actually optimistic about the America into which she’d be entering as a college graduate next May. “Even if [Clinton] somehow makes it back from this, it’s still sad to see so many people aligned with a candidate like [Trump]” she said, referencing his comments about women and people of color.
Women in suits, mothers and daughters, hucksters selling “Nasty Women” pins and tens of thousands of members of the public came to Manhattan’s largest glass ceiling on Tuesday night, to await the result of a presidential election that many hoped would sweep away the highest gender barrier in US politics.
As the night went on and results did not go the Democrats’ way, the mood in and around the building grew darker, reports the Guardian’s Lauren Gambino from Clinton’s election-night party in New York.
Inside, Clinton was supposed to speak on a stage constructed in the shape of the United States, her podium positioned somewhere over Texas, a deep red state that would stay that way despite a nationwide increase in the Hispanic vote that had fuelled hopes of turning it purple, if not Democratic blue. American flags lined the stage. The pledge of allegiance was said, the national anthem played.
Before the draw, hopes were high for a repeat of the Italia 90 success, with Costa Rica getting past the group stages. Some people in the media will talk about "failure" if the Ticos don't repeat that but the general feeling is that chances are slim. Yet the team are expected to be combative at least, and there is a positive feeling that they can upset some people in Uruguay, England and Italy who expect an easy win.
Jorge Luis Pinto is often said to have a defensive style and lack of ambition, and that didn't help him to win over the fans at first. But after the final round of Concacaf qualifying, where Costa Rica finished second winning all their games at home, he received plenty of credit and will head to the tournament in Brazil as a popular figure.
Keylor Navas, Levante's 27-year-old goalkeeper, is one of the rising stars of this Costa Rica team. He has an unlikely sponsorship by an ironmongery, Ferretería Brenes, in the city of Heredia. If you buy a gallon of paint, you can win a trip to Valencia to watch him play.
The players living in Europe or the US, such Bryan Ruiz, Álvaro Saborío of Real Salt Lake and Celso Borges who plays in Sweden, seem the best at handling media scrutiny and all can do interviews in English if necessary. There isn't a particularly controversial player.
Will there be any rehearsed goal celebrations?
Joel Campbell, recently on loan to Olympiakos from Arsenal, always does a military salute when he scores, but the rest of the team have nothing prepared.
The coverage is huge even when Costa Rica are not in the World Cup, so in 2014, and with one of their strongest-ever national teams, the media will be 100 per cent focused on the World Cup for at least two weeks. Pundits will include former players such as Mauricio Montero, a defender who starred in the win over Scotland in 1990, Walter Centeno, who played in midfield in two World Cups, and Erick Lonnis, the goalkeeper with the 2002 World Cup team.
Will there be many fans travelling to the finals and will they have any chants?
It's a small country – just 4.5 million people – and an expensive trip, so the majority will follow the World Cup on TV. Agárrense De Las Manos (Hold Hands), a song celebrating the first qualification in 1990, became an instant hit among the fans and it's still sung by them whenever La Sele play.
GOOGLE CO-FOUNDER SERGEY Brin says he sees little reason to release the accident reports involving the internet company’s self-driving cars because he believes there’s nothing new in documents withheld to protect the privacy of other motorists.
Brin, who oversees Google’s fleet of self-driving cars, outlined his rationale Wednesday during a sometimes-testy exchange with a long-time critic at the company’s annual shareholders meeting in Mountain View, California.
As part of his effort to show Google has nothing to hide, Brin disclosed that one of the company’s self-driving cars was rear-ended at a traffic signal during the past week. With that collision, Google’s self-driving cars have now been involved in 12 accidents while covering more than 1.7 million miles over the past six years, according to the company.
The self-driving cars have never been at fault, according to Google, though a company employee was in control at the time of one crash.
Google is planning to begin testing the latest version of its self-driving car around the streets of Mountain View and other nearby public roads this summer. About 25 of the pod-like, two-seat vehicles initially will be cruising around at speeds topping out at 25 miles per hour.
Consumer Watchdog, a group that has been lambasting Google for years, is demanding that the company release the self-driving cars’ accident reports filed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles and other government agencies to give the public a better understanding of the risks posed by the vehicles. The Associated Press also has requested the records from Google and the DMV.
Both Google and the DMV have cited privacy concerns for keeping the reports under wraps.
Even if the accident records were released with the names of the drivers redacted, Brin said the documents wouldn’t disclose anything different from a summary that the company posted online three weeks ago. Google says its self-driving cars have been rear-ended eight times, including the most-recent accident, side-swiped twice and hit by another vehicle rolling through a stop sign.
“I suppose we could give more detail and we are open to that, but you are not going to learn anymore,” Brin told John Simpson, Consumer Watchdog’s privacy project director.
Simpson told the AP that he believes the records would shed more light by at least revealing the dates, times and precise locations of each accident.
The driverless cars are among several ambitious projects that Google has been funding outside its primary business of internet search and advertising. The list of far-flung initiatives include a contact lens that monitors glucose levels in diabetics and internet-beaming balloons hovering over remote areas of the world that have little or no online access.
Google CEO Larry Page, the company’s other co-founder, describes the projects as “moonshots” that he hopes will make the world a better place. He assured Google shareholders Wednesday that “everything is getting better, in general, by quite a bit,” thanks to technology.
“I think we should be optimists and be excited by all the things we are building and contributing to the world,” Page said.

The amount of U.S. insurance company assets invested by external money management firms has grown at a steady clip since 2011, as insurers look for managers that can offer specialized investment strategies to boost their returns.
General account assets outsourced by U.S. insurers totaled $1.3 trillion in 2014, up 18.2% from a year earlier and up 30% from the end of 2011, according to a survey by Patpatia & Associates, Berkeley, Calif., a consultant that tracks insurance outsourcing.
The survey covered 60 managers that control about 90% of the U.S. market for outsourced insurance assets. The survey was based on 2013 numbers from insurers, and were projected to 2014 by firm officials. The firm found more than 40% of the outsourced assets came from firms with $5 billion or less in general account assets.
The $1.3 trillion in outsourced assets represents around 23% of general account insurance assets, according to a Patpatia & Associates estimate.
Another survey by the Insurance Outsourcing Asset Exchange, run by consulting firm Eager, Davis & Holmes LLC in Louisville, Ky., used a smaller sample of 34 large U.S. external money managers but found a larger number of outsourced assets, $1.381 trillion.
