The New England Patriots continued their quest for the perfect season last night, a result that both helped and hurt the Miami Dolphins. The hurt, of course, comes with the 1972 Miami Dolphins' Perfect Season team having to continue to wait at least another week for the Patriots (and the Carolina Panthers) to lose. The help is with the currently version of the Dolphins, who, despite losing this week to the Dallas Cowboys, are still within a game of the AFC Wildcard.
The Patriots win means the Buffalo Bills lost, bringing the last Wildcard position down to a 5-5 record.
