Analysis: Shaky Patriots beaten up, must wait on No. 1 overall seed

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Dolphins beat the Patriots, 20-10, today at Sun Life Stadium, so the Pats’ regular season has ended with four losses in their last six games.

The Patriots (12-4) can still claim the No. 1 seed if the Broncos fall to the Chargers. Otherwise, the Pats will be the second seed.

Here’s how it all went down.

1. Tom Brady survived a second-quarter injury scare when Ndamukong Suh rolled onto the quarterback’s right ankle after an incompletion. Brady hobbled to the sideline and received a brief amount of medical attention before the trainers left him alone, and Brady resumed studying play sheets with Josh McDaniels.
