The New England Patriots, who have a chance to win their 18th division title since 2001 on Sunday, haven't had a lot of success in Miami -- site of their regular-season finale.
Under coach Bill Belichick, New England (10-6) is just 2-7 when visiting the Dolphins (8-8) in December and January."I know one thing," said Devin McCourty, New England's long-time safety and team captain, "It's hard to go from (the cold weather in Boston) to 80 degrees (in Miami). It's always a shock in pregame."
To win the AFC East on Sunday, the Patriots would have to beat the Dolphins and need the New York Jets to beat the Buffalo Bills.
