Pats demolish Dolphins 36-7 to remain ideal through 7 games

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. He ended the night with a crispy 133.2 passer rating. Moreover, the Patriots do as good a job as any team setting the edge, staying in their rushing lanes and forcing backs inside in an attempt to avoid explosive plays.

Wake had emerged from a slow first month to dominate the past two games, helping the Dolphins break through with interim coach Dan Campbell.

The Patriots are 3-0 in the AFC East, but who, with even an ounce of objectivity, doesn’t think they’ll go 6-0 against their division opponents?

Miami trailed New England 19-0 at halftime and cut its deficit to 19-7 early in the third quarter. If Miami’s offense plans on improving on last season’s 24.3 points per game, Cameron needs to make more plays.

BUGGIN’ OUT: Boomer Esiason of WFAN reported on his weekday radio show that the Jets asked that their locker room at Gillette Stadium be swept for bugs before Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill chases a ball out of the end zone for a safety in the first half an NFL football game against the New England Patriots, Thursday, October 29, 2015, in Foxborough, Mass. The closest Miami came to points was a 63-yard field goal attempt as time expired. The Patriots have the same level of intensity as that 2007 team had, and with the amount of quality players on this team it equates to the Patriots starting the season 7-0. Brady threw TD passes of 10 and 16 yards to Edelman. They’re viewing Thursday’s loss as a learning experience rather than a step back as they begin to prepare for their next game November 8 at Buffalo. The average margin of the Patriots’ victories is larger than any of the other undefeated teams, according to The New York Times.

Wake, 33, somehow did not cease to rush the passer after sustaining the injury. The best of the best have all declined in their twilight years in the league, but none of those players were Tom Brady.

After that, a worthy challenger will have to somehow prove they can stop them.
