Patriots hold on to beat Dolphins 27-24

Now 12-3 - had to put up with some first half booing from their own fans. Meh. Dooshbags. I give the team not a Tebow (Hell no), but a Patriot Pump.

Shows they can come back...they have issues, but pretty much every team does...certainly Baltimore didn't look overpowering.

one of the worst 4th quarter teams in football.

Game film is what I'd be worried about and the Phins showed other teams how to slow down Brady.

I had the Pat's in the SB this season but after this game I'm not so sure anymore.

For some reason, I just assumed the games would be on tomorrow. Probably just as well...doesn't look like they brought their A game to the stadium today.

"It was the seventh consecutive win for the Patriots, moving them to 12-3 and guaranteeing them either the first or second seed in the AFC playoffs and the bye that comes with it. If New England wins next week against Buffalo, it sews up the No. 1 seed..."
