The Miami Dolphins hosted the New England Patriots in the regular season finale for two playoff bound teams. New England came into this game hoping to lock up the top seed in the AFC and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win, and they clearly looked like they were on a mission early. Miami just had no answer for the Patriots offense throughout most of the first half.
The Dolphins did manage to put together one coherent possession at the end of the half to put up their first points of the day, after having fallen behind 20-0.
