MIAMI -- Jay Fiedler went another game without a turnover, and the Miami Dolphins won again. Peyton Manning added to his rising interception total, and the Indianapolis Colts lost again.

Fiedler threw three touchdown passes -- two to rookie Chris Chambers -- and ran for a TD as Miami took advantage of Manning's three interceptions to beat Indianapolis 41-6 Monday night.

The Dolphins' third straight victory extended their AFC East lead to 1 1/2 games over the Patriots and two games over the New York Jets. Their 41 points Monday were a season high.

The Colts (4-8) lost their fifth straight game and were pretty much eliminated from postseason contention, especially with their 0-4 record against division foes Miami and New England.

Fiedler, who threw 15 interceptions in Miami's first nine games, has seven touchdown passes in his last three games without an interception or a fumble.

Manning now has a league-high 20 interceptions this season. He has thrown 11 INTs in the last five games.
