The New England Patriots came out on Thursday night and defeated the Miami Dolphins by a 36-7 score. It was their seventh consecutive regular season win and tenth win in a row if you count last year’s playoffs. The Patriots ran their current dominance of the AFC East to an amazing 19 wins in their last 20 games at Gillette Stadium against a division rival.
The only loss at home by New England to a division rival since Matt Cassel was the starting quarterback in 2008? It was that meaningless 2014 season finale where quarterback Tom Brady played just the first half and most of the other starters on offense and defense did not even play as the Patriots had wrapped up the top seed in the AFC.
