After a scoreless first quarter, the Miami Dolphins reeled off 24 unanswered second-quarter points against the New England Patriots, using it as a springboard on their way to a dominant 34-15 victory on Sunday in South Beach. Miami improved to 5-6 while the Patriots fell to 3-9.
Tua Tagovailoa threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns, while rookie Drake Maye and the Patriots offense struggled to find a rhythm for most of the game. Maye had two second-half turnovers. New England's ten penalties were a major hindrance, while they had few answers on defense for Tagovailoa and Miami's well-tuned offense until the game was out of hand in the second half.
