Unless you were a Miami Dolphins fan, there wasn’t a whole lot not to like about the New England Patriots‘ performance in Week 2. Fresh off a dominant season-opening home victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tom Brady and the Patriots went on the road and manhandled the hapless Fins by a final score of 43-0, avenging last season’s ‘Miracle in Miami’ heartbreak at Hard Rock.
The only real criticism that neutral observers could have leveled at the Pats last Sunday had to do with sportsmanship. Already up 37-0 late in the fourth quarter after a pair of back-to-back pick-sixes, Brady and the New England offense continued to aggressively throw the ball down the field, eventually resulting in a 10-yard screen pass that James White took to the house for another touchdown.
