The Patriots have had ten days to prepare to face the Dolphins and will be enjoying time away from the nor’easter snowstorm and basking in the South Florida warmth on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Patriots haven’t played like they enjoy being in Florida. They’ve played some of their sloppiest football in South Beach.
For the first time in two decades, Miami has the more talented team than New England and Brian Flores is putting together an excellent program. They are there yet, but this is a team that is trending upward. His team has bought in and they are definitely in line for a playoff berth.
