ALLEN PARK -- Matt Patricia has had two weeks to prepare for a road trip to Miami to play the Dolphins. On its face, it isn't more daunting a task than normal in the NFL, except for the history that lies between them.
"I've always had battles with this team," Patricia said.
Even though Patricia spent the past six years as defensive coordinator of the Patriots, a team that won the Dolphins' division every single year, his experiences in Miami have not been the best.
From 2013 to 2017, New England was 5-0 against Miami in Foxboro, Massachusetts, but only 1-4 on the road, finding a win in Miami in the 2016 meeting only.
