The Miami Dolphins fell to 1-6 after their Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. It was a rough game for Miami, who led at halftime and looked like they would be able to hold on for a second-straight victory in a reset season, but the second half featured the mistakes expected from a young team, and New England capitalized. There was hope, but it quickly vanished as a 13-3 halftime lead became a 24-19 loss.
The good news, if you are looking for it, was Miami still covered the 7.5-points they were given, according to the oddsmakers.
