Patriots drop regular season finale to Dolphins
But that’s not how it feels today. The idea was to make sure no Patriots’ employee would have any reason to touch or tamper with their gear before or during the game.

Integrity of the game? They do not have much motivation to try to win on Sunday and overall, the Patriots match up well against them.
New England scored in the first quarter and extended the lead in the second while keeping the Dolphins quiet in the offensive end. Brady was just 4-of-5 for 20 yards as the Patriots relied on the run early inthe game. “But I think having a good team and playing well is more important than who or where you play”. “I mean, everybody played”.
“We don’t really have any control over that”, said Belichick, “Whatever it is, it is”. New England gets to use South Florida as a warm-weather testing ground for a running game that will be needed come mid-January.
The Dolphins ended a disappointing season in impressive fashion Sunday when they beat the AFC East champion New England Patriots at Sun Life Stadium. If it is not, then the success of the Patriots’ offense, and the health of Tom Brady could be in jeopardy.
The Pats offense, still playing without Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman, was stuck in neutral for most of Week 17. That’s what it’s going to come down to. They face a Dolphins squad that was down six last week with the ball inside the Colts’ 10-yard line before failing to convert on fourth down.
On this day, Brady dropped back only 23 times. He said he “didn’t know” why the first half included so few passes. He admitted, “I’m pretty sore”. Don’t bother asking him about the Dolphins’ situation. You don’t want to see any of your teammates get hurt. “We’ve put ourselves in a good position and hopefully we can go finish strong”. “We just have to see where it takes us”. Interim head coach Dan Campbell won his first two games after Philbin was dismissed, but Miami has gone 2-7 over its last 10 contests.
Meanwhile, the Steelers don’t need a long check list of results to go their way for them to sneak their way into the Playoffs. The Patriots employed a safe, run-first approach in the loss, and yet Brady was still sacked twice and hit six times. Or maybe they were banking on the Broncos losing their late Sunday afternoon game to the Chargers. Though the regular season did not end the way fans would have liked, the season is not yet over and there are still games left to be played.

The Patriots clinched a bye in 2015 for an NFL-record sixth-straight season and lead the National Football League with 11 first round-round byes since the current National Football League playoff format was instituted in 1990.
