Brian Hoyer: The key to a Patriots victory in Week 5 vs. Dolphins originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots need to get back to the basics in their Week 5 showdown with the Miami Dolphins.
They've struggled on both sides of the ball throughout their three-game losing skid, especially in their last two blowout losses to the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers. In Week 4, they went 0-for-3 in following ex-Patriots QB Brian Hoyer's keys to victory: getting back to their identity (the run game), patience to stay on track, and handling San Francisco's defensive stars.
