What the New England Patriots game plan should be against their Week 1 opponent, the Miami Dolphins

The Patriots open up their 2020 season against the Miami Dolphins. They found out earlier this week that the opposing quarterback will be Ryan Fitzpatrick, a player the Patriots know all too well. They’ll also open up the season with a new starting quarterback of their own, as Cam Newton has the onerous task of being the next guy after Tom Brady’s 18 years of unprecedented levels of dominance. In addition to losing Brady several of the team’s longest-tenured veterans have opted out of the season, which creates a void in leadership on the defense.
