The New England Patriots entered Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium as underdogs, and they showed exactly why, losing the battle 34-15.

New England was down in this game 31-0 at one point, and they were lucky to bring it back to a somewhat respectable score. However, it's very obvious that they were outclassed by the second-place team in their own division.

After the loss, the Patriots' second of the year to Miami, let's give some credit to the few who performed well and point out who needs more work (or who shouldn't be on the field) going forward.
