The New England Patriots closed out the regular season with a 35-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. The Patriots jumped out to a 20 to zero first half lead before the Dolphins sandwiched two touchdown drives around halftime (along with a missed 52-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski) to make it a one-score game.
The Patriots took care of business after that with Tom Brady finding Julian Edelman on a short pass which turned into a 77-yard touchdown. When the Dolphins tried to mount a drive to get back in the game down 13 points, inside the ten-yard line running back Damien Williams got popped by Devin McCourty and the fumble was scooped up by Shea McClellin who rumbled 69-yards to set-up the final score and effectively end the game.
