The Patriots came close to scoring enough points the last time around. Here is what they have to do to actually overcome Miami this week.
The New England Patriots offense came close to beating the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. Down just a single point late in the fourth quarter, the unit led by first-time starting quarterback Mac Jones drove deep into Miami territory to either score a touchdown or at least take the lead through a chip-shot field goal.
Alas, it was not meant to be. Running back Damien Harris lost a fumble at the Miami 9-yard line with under four minutes to go, which gave the Dolphins an opportunity to run out the clock and secure a 17-16 win.
