MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The New England Patriots clinched home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs with their 35-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, and unveiled their new offensive weapon in the process.
Hello Michael Floyd.
The wide receiver made his presence felt in multiple ways – first with one of the more impressive touchdown catches in which he powered through four defenders on a 14-yard first-quarter score, and then with a thunderous downfield block to help Julian Edelman race away on a 77-yard touchdown in the second half on a game-turning play.
This was the definition of sudden impact, considering Floyd has only been on the Patriots for 18 days, his story well documented as the Arizona Cardinals waived him Dec.
