With a chance to ensure they’d be the No. 1 seed and have home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs by beating the on Sunday, they turned in an uninspiring, lackluster performance in a at Sun Life Stadium.

The injury was suffered in Sunday’s 20-10 loss to division rival Miami Dolphins when defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh went low on the Patriots quarterback.
The NFL playoffs schedule is out and the Patriots will be playing at 4:35 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 16 at home. I’ve always dealt with injuries. Before the game, Brady posed for photos alongside Pro Football Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Bob Griese. “When you are hitting any quarterback like that, they are going to get rattled…no matter how experienced or how young, you are going to get rattled”. In addition, Tannehill produced a big 19-yard run on Miami’s game-winning drive, converting on a key third-down play.
“Wherever we play, we play”, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.
The Pats are in the playoffs, but that’s only because they played so well during the first half of the season.
An MRI exam administered Monday did not show any fractures, according to the ESPN report.
“When people come and ask to interview them, I think it’s a compliment to the organization, not that we want to lose anybody”. The Patriots finished the regular season 12-4.
This has been a tough season for the New England Patriots, and it continued to be tough yesterday. At time this season, I felt that that some of the play calling was questionable, however this was likely a result of weather conditions, and limited personal.
As usual, Sunday’s game saw some notable names sidelined, with Julian Edelman remaining out, along with Chandler Jones, Dont’a Hightower, Sebastian Vollmer and Jonathan Freeney.
The Dolphins led 10-3 at the half after Tannehill fired a 15-yard touchdown pass to Parker with 36 seconds left in the second quarter. We haven’t played Kansas City and Cincinnati this year, so certainly there will be members of our staff working on those teams just to have information so if we get to them it will all be done.
If anything, Tom Brady knows how to play through injuries.
McCourty said earning a bye is a nice accomplishment, but it doesn’t mean the team gets a week off. While it does give the banged-up bodies some time to heal (and avoid game-speed collisions), there is no shortage of items on the to-do list. In his weekly Boston radio appearance, Brady insisted he would be fine and that he has had worse injuries. He was clutch on third down, something he’s struggled with all season long.
