The New England Patriots face the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, November 26th. Here is all the information you need to watch the game.
The New England Patriots are on fire heading into Week 12. They are leading the AFC East and are tied for first in the AFC with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They will look to put even more distance between themselves and the AFC East this week with a matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
The Patriots are entering arguably the most important part of their schedule. Despite playing some tough team this season, the Patriots are entering a tough stretch. This week marks the first of five division games the Patriots will play in the final six weeks of the season. The other game will be a visit to the Steelers.
The schedule was an odd one for the Patriots this season, as this will be the first time this season they face the Dolphins. The New York Jets, in Week 6, are the only divisional opponent the Patriots have faced thus far.
Right now the Patriots hold a three-game lead in the AFC East. They can basically eliminate the Dolphins from the division title race this week if they defeat them.
New England Patriots
The Patriots will need players to step up once again this week as the injury report has some important names. Starting offensive linemen David Andrews and Marcus Cannon have both been ruled out. Chris Hogan remains sidelined as well, while Martellus Bennett is doubtful.
Missing from the final injury report was Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Both are good to go this week, as Brady said there is nothing to worry about in regards to his Achilles injury. Gronkowski was dealing with an illness, but he will be all systems go against Miami.
The Dolphins did not receive as promising news for their starting quarterback. Jay Cutler suffered a concussion in last week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he remained in concussion protocol throughout the week. As a result, he will be out this week against the Patriots. Matt Moore will receive the start in his place.
In addition to Cutler, the Dolphins will be without offensive tackle Jermon Bushrod and defensive end William Hayes.
Will the Dolphins be able to hang with the Patriots? Las Vegas certainly doesn’t believe so, as the Dolphins are the biggest underdogs of the season, getting between 16-17 points on the spread. Will New England’s dominance continue, or will the Dolphins surprise some people and give the Patriots a game? We will have to watch and find out!
