Some Patriots News and notes on this Wednesday afternoon:
- The New England Patriots are down in Palm Beach Florida ahead of Sunday’s season opener down in Miami, with the hopes that the early arrival will help the club get acclimated to the South Florida weather. Temperatures in Miami are expected to be in the 90s on Sunday, with the potential for afternoon rain sitting close to 80%, which could add a bit of an interesting wrinkle to this one. An area of emphasis has always been on ball security and should the skies open up at game time, hopefully that will be an edge for a Patriots team that will certainly have its hands full against a talented Dolphins offense.
