The New England Patriots are off to Miami, Florida to face off against the Dolphins (4-6) at 1:00 PM EST. New England (3-8) is coming off a close loss to the Los Angeles Rams, 28 – 22 being the final score on the previous Sunday. Miami is coming off a dominant win vs the Las Vegas Raiders, 34 – 19 being the final score. Both teams are evenly matched, the game will be broadcasted on CBS.
Patriots Rookie Quarterback Drake Maye shined vs the Rams; completed 29 of his 39 passes for 282 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Maye continues to produce positive numbers throwing for 180+ yards in all games started (Except Jets due to leaving early with injury). Kendrick Bourne was the Rookie Signal Callers favorite target, the veteran Wide Receiver caught five passes for 70 yards while adding a touchdown. Expect the rookie Quarterback to continue to get players involved, expect a big game from second Wide Receiver Kayshon Boutte.
Drake Maye making plays Week to Week:
The Miami Dolphins defense struggled vs Gardner Minshew II, the veteran Quarterback completed 30 of his 43 passes for 282 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Brock Bowers the rookie tight end was a handful for Miami’s Defense, 13 receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown for the former Georgia tight end. The Patriots Offense could be focused on using tight ends Austin Hooper and Hunter Henry vs Miami.
New England’s defense has to be able to stop the Dolphins high powered offense, Tua Tagovailoa was on fire vs Las Vegas – 28 completions out of his 36 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Jonnu Smith, a former Patriot, led the Dolphins in yards, 101 yards off of six receptions, and added two touchdowns to show for it. New England will have a lot on their plate ahead of Thanksgiving, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De’Von Achane, and Jonnu Smith are all going to be difficult to stop.
Patriots Left Guard Cole Strange is back from injury, the expectations are that Strange will play some center for New England. Stay tuned for more news on the Cole Strange situation, the former first round pick is an improvement at Guard and Center – No matter where he plays he will make a difference.
