MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The atmosphere inside Hard Rock Stadium is expected to be excellent as South Florida is in the midst of a cold front.
Unfortunately for Miami Dolphins fans, outside of the cool temperatures and throwback uniforms there isn’t a lot to get excited about ahead of Monday’s game with the powerhouse New England Patriots.
The Dolphins (5-7) are still mathematically alive in the AFC playoff race but in order to remain there they’ll have to become the first team to defeat New England since October 1st, a stretch of eight games.
The Patriots’ eight-game win streak was the longest in the NFL before Pittsburgh tied it with a win over Baltimore on Sunday night.
