For the third straight year, the New England Patriots will open their regular season against the Miami Dolphins. But while those last two games took place at Gillette Stadium, this one will be a road trip for the Patriots.
The two AFC East rivals will meet at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium to kick off their 2022 campaigns, according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. The game is scheduled as a 1 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday, September 11.
Miami has been a challenging trip for the Patriots recently. Over the last decade, the team has gone just 3-for-10 when facing the Dolphins on the road, including a 33-24 defeat in the final game of last year’s regular season.
