Thirteen thoughts on the Patriots’ win over the Dolphins …
1. It was odd Sunday to see someone other than Tom Brady orchestrating the Patriots’ offense. I can’t imagine how odd it was for someone a decade or two or three younger, who has known only Brady (with the occasional Jimmy Garoppolo, Jacoby Brissett or Matt Cassel cameo) during this franchise’s run of football prosperity. It’s strange to see someone other than Brady front and center on CBS’s promos, too. He was the center of everything for so long. Maybe it was different for you, but Sunday is when it really settled in that he’s no longer here.
