Armed with first-year head coach Mike McDaniel, the Miami Dolphins look for a statement AFC East win against the New England Patriots Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is also seeking to say something this season after last year's constant speculation about Miami's commitment to the 2020 first-round draft pick.
Meanwhile, the Patriots look for a second consecutive playoff berth behind sophomore quarterback Mac Jones, who leads an offense without an official offensive coordinator. Both teams figure to be in the hunt for a wild card spot in 2022.
