Patriots Restore Order, Crush Dolphins
FOXBOROUGH – We get it. Jacksonville was the fifth preseason game, Detroit was the sixth.
Facing a 3-0 Miami Dolphins team at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon, the Patriots suddenly found a renewed purpose. Looking nothing like the team we saw the previous two weeks, the Patriots went out and served notice to the outgunned Fish who is still the big brother in the division. Tom Brady threw for three touchdowns, Sony Michel became the first Patriot rookie running back to crack the 100-yard mark in six years, and the Patriots squished the Fish, 38-7. Only a late Dolphin touchdown ruined a shutout; otherwise, the afternoon was a complete domination for the Patriots.
