Patriots 20
Dolphins 27 This game may go down as Xavien Howard’s coming out party (he’s just the second player in the last decade to pick Tom Brady off twice in the same game) but the entire Miami defense did their part to get Brady pissed off; #12 was held to just 5.4 yards per pass and went 0-for-11 on 3rd downs, the worst showing for the Patriots offense since 1991. Now that he’s only 7-9 against the Dolphins on the road, Brady is one superstar athlete that hates taking his talents to South Beach. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)
