How to watch Patriots vs. Dolphins

Miami (5-10) can score a moral victory with a home win against their northern rival though the odds are stacked against them.

That includes Sunday’s 20-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins, who were eliminated from playoff contention weeks ago.

New England needs to win or see AFC West champion Denver fall to San Diego in order to clinch the top seed in the conference.

Brady watched New England’s final offensive series from the sideline. But in the finale they mounted lots of pressure on Tom Brady and netted 438 yards, their second-highest total of the season. Landry, only in his second year in the National Football League, has the makeup of a future star and is versatile: He can beat defenders downfield, or catch short passes and make defenders miss in the open field. For the season, Parker had 26 catches for 494 yards, and three touchdowns.

“We have some of the best trainers on this team, he has his own [rehabilitation] facility [at the stadium], he’ll be back”, added receiver Brandon LaFell.

The Patriots have scored at least 20 points in every game so far this season.

The Patriots were ultra conservative in the first half Sunday, electing to run 21 times and throw just five. But all of them should be ready for the playoffs, which would be a big boost for New England.

Belichick’s focus is more basic than clinching any particular seed.

“I think it’s better to win this game than to lose this game because you obviously love to always play at home because of communication and so forth”.

Injuries have played a big part in a slowing offense over the past five games, and things were possibly at their worst against NY.

Same drive, third-and-10 from the Patriots 36-yard line? Miami’s quarterback threw for 350 yards on 25-38 passing.

Without Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola, the Patriots offense hasn’t had the spark that it did earlier this season. “It’s going to be one game, you have to play well, and that’s what our whole season is going to come down to”. Brady is 364 yards shy, and he’s only reached that mark once this year in Week 2. “You only have three opportunities a week”.

“There are a lot of teams that are going to be looking for coaches”, Ross said, “so we want to make it sooner than later”.

-RB Lamar Miller ran 19 times for 60 yards and a 3.2 average. The running game was led by Steven Jackson who had 14 rushes for 35 yards and a touchdown run.

The Dolphins (5-10) are assured of finishing last in the division for the first time since 2007.

Sunday could end up being a pretty special day for the New England Patriots.

Welcome to VAVEL NFL’s live coverage of the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins’ Week 17 matchup.

The health of Ryan Tannehill is unsurprisingly in question after taking a season-high six sacks against the Colts.

Tannehill has been playing hurt and left Sunday with his leg wrapped.

“Well I’ll tell ya what: We probably need the extra week to get our stuff together”, Slater said. The problem with that is, New England has a stout rushing defense.
