The New England Patriots are back on the road, playing their first of two straight away games on Sunday. Their opponent are the Miami Dolphins, a team that has had its struggles this season but at 6-6 is still very much in contention for a playoff spot. The game therefore projects to be an interesting one — not just because the Patriots do historically not play their best football in South Florida.
