The last time the Patriots played the Dolphins Tom Brady had a weird game.
Of his 28 passes four were touchdowns and one was an interception. He also technically had 2 fumbles, one which was recovered by New England and one which resulted in 6 points for the Dolphins.
On the receiving end of Brady's passes was a healthy dose of Rob Gronkowski and Brandon Cooks. Without Gronk in the lineup the Patriots will need to get their scoring from elsewhere. Of course as usual that shouldn't be a problem for the Patriots as their game plan is never the same thing twice.
As usual the Patriots need to keep Brady upright and not on the ground, especially when Ndamukong Suh is around. Last time the offensive line did a great job as Brady was only sacked once by Cameron Wake. Defensively, the Patriots had a pretty spectacular game as they recorded 7 sacks and had 2 picks.
