The New England Patriots dropped their Week 1 game against the Miami Dolphins to the tune of a gutting 17-16 defeat.

The Patriots nearly started the Mac Jones era on a winning note, but a Damien Harris fumble with less than four minutes remaining in regulation put the nail in the coffin. A couple of first downs later and Miami lined up in victory formation.
