Looking to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs by locking down the top seed in the AFC, the New England Patriots travel to the Sunshine State to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida will be the site for a game that still has plenty at stake for head coach Bill Belichick and the visiting Pats.
That’s because a win over the intradivisional rivals would assure New England would not have to pack a single suitcase until it’s time to travel to the Lone Star State in early February (should they make it that far, of course).
