Cameron Wake tore Achilles tendon, is out for season
He sustained the injury on a pass rush late in the third quarter of Miami’s 36-7 loss at New England.
The New England Patriots are still rolling. This is what the rest of the National Football League has created.

Tom Brady, who once again led the Patriots’ attack, completed 26 of 38 passes for 356 yards, threw four touchdown passes and did not allow an interception.
Aren’t four Super Bowl rings and being married to Gisele Bündchen enough for you? After playing the Patriots, they play at Buffalo, at Philadelphia, host Dallas and visit the Jets.
After the brouhaha over deflated footballs, Belichick channeled his disdain for Roger Goodell onto the other 31 teams, who have the misfortune of standing in as the commissioner’s proxies each week.
The coach nearly sounded satisfied after the beat-down of the Jets, though it won’t last long. How much of a luxury does it have to be to know that you have an automatic 3 points if you can just get the ball to the 40 yard line?
“We’ve got to get better”, linebacker Koa Misi said. “I think Bill has got a lot of strengths”. The game began with the Patriots establishing an identity they’ve used before (notably past year twice against the Colts) of the power running team.
Can this team do what that team couldn’t? The first half ended with the Patriots leading 19-0. He’s averaging 6.0 yards per carry on the season.
The Dolphins have work to do and the Patriots look flawless. However the Dolphins’ issues stem from more than just Tannehill on any given Sunday.
“‘It’s not always about stats and tackles”, Hightower said.
The Dolphins weren’t the first team to get hammered by the Patriots. The Dolphins found they still aren’t ready to challenge New England for the division just yet. He and Rob Ninkovich were outstanding against the Dolphins tackles; they set the edge in the running game and were consistently bringing pressure on Tannehill. In the fourth quarter, Julian Edelman would score 2 touchdowns to put the icing on the cake.
Gillette was opened in 2002 and since the Pats moved to their current home they’ve played 72 games – including Thursday – where they led at halftime.
The New England Patriots are playing host to Miami as they look to extend their streak this season to 7-0. Remember, Tom Brady didn’t win a title for an entire decade. Suddenly, it seemed like Miami just might have a chance against the Patriots.
