The New England Patriots will try to bounce back from their primetime loss last week by knocking off the Miami Dolphins in South Beach on Sunday.
Despite a three-game winning streak, the Patriots succumbed to the Chicago Bears on a short week with a roster plagued with injuries. They are hopeful that the extra time off will fuel them for a Dolphins team coming off its first win of the season.
The Dolphins have continued to fight despite being a rebuilding team with five losses. They stunned the New York Jets on the road last week, and they would make an even bigger wave with a win over the visiting Patriots. But Drake Maye is playing at an elite level at the quarterback position, and the Patriots' defense is getting healthier at the right time.
