MRI shows Brady’s ankle sprained, expected to be ready for the playoffs

If the Dolphins are granted permission to speak with McDaniels, Patricia or both, the interviews would likely take place later this week. It would be different if we could just never beat teams, or never stop the run, or never get to the quarterback.

Tannehill bested Tom Brady in the first half as he was 13-of-21 for 142 yards and 1 touchdown.

Asked whether consideration was given to pulling Brady, Belichick said, “The seeding was still in doubt and we’re trying to play good football”.

The team bounced back and throttled the Bengals to kick off a seven-game winning streak. “I’ll just work hard to get the right treatment”. They are a much better team with Brady than they would be without him.

In only his second game as a Patriot, Steven Jackson received an opportunity to become the featured running back in the New England offense, but he failed to deliver. We’re going to have to play a great game of football whoever we play.

The Dolphins stunned the Patriots 20-10 Sunday, a silver lining on an otherwise awful 50th season.

As for Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s reaction: “What are you talking about?”

We played Houston recently. Even though they started the season 10-0, all was not well for the Patriots. “We have always shown that we can do things, but just doing it consistently week in and week out, that’s challenging”. Tom Brady played with a sprained ankle in Super Bowl XXXVI against the Rams and a high ankle sprain in Super Bowl XLII against the Giants, among a battery of injuries he has dealt with during his career.

PLAY-CALLING: Brady spent most of the first half handing off, with the Patriots running the ball on 16 of their first 18 plays.

“To hold the Patriots to under 200 yards – I’d have to check, but I don’t know who has kept Tom Brady to those numbers”, Sheppard said. Wouldn’t a limping Brady be the worst-case scenario coming out of this game? Had they won either one of those last two games, it would not have been an issue, according to the Boston Globe. Offensive lineman Sebastien Vollmer missed the finale with an ankle injury.

Now that the season is over for the Miami Dolphins, tomorrow will start an extremely busy and interesting off-season.

In the loss to the Dolphins, the Patriots had at least eight players unable to participate due to injury, with others gutting through the final game.

Tannehill found his rhythm as he connected with Jordan Cameron for a score late in the fourth quarter he led the team on a 2:45 second drive that resulted in a 19-yard field goal by Andrew Franks which put the game out of reach. Chung was once again shaken up in the second half against the Dolphins and missed a play after leaving the field with trainers.
