Thursday night games can be a tricky proposition for even the best of teams. Not this time. The Patriots marched down the field for a touchdown on the game's opening possession, tacked on another TD just before halftime and rolled to a 36-7 win over the supposedly resurgent Dolphins.
The Dolphins came into the game hot, having smoked two opponents after Dan Campbell took over as interim coach. However, they had no answers for Tom Brady nor could they replicate any of their recent offensive success.
New England is now 7-0 and can move halfway to a perfect regular season by knocking off Washington next week.
