If the  look a little  going into New England, they have reason to be. The Patriots have defeated the Dolphins in five of their last seven meetings in New England. The forecast: Snow and rain likely. Very windy. Highs in the mid 30s. Chance of precipitation 70 percent. We could have a foot of snow by game time. Knowing that Miami will be  their tails off you might anticipate the Pats  all over them. Not likely with these old division rivals. The Pats are coming off a HUGE win that has put them in great shape for the playoffs. Could they be looking ahead to the post season? With all the weapons on offense that Miami showcased on Turkey Day & knowing a win clinches the division, I think NOT.
Patriots Statistical Breakdown:
Tom Brady ~ 200 yards passing, 1 td & 1 int
Kevin Faulk ~ 60 yards rush, 50 receiving
Mike Cloud ~ 20 yards rushing & 1 TD
Troy Brown ~ STILL questionable
Deion Branch ~ 80 yards receiving
David Givens ~ 10 yards receiving
Dedric Ward ~ 20 yards receiving
Christian Fauria ~ 20 yards receiving & 1 TD
Daniel Graham ~ 20 yards receiving
Adam Vinatieri ~ 4 FGs & 2 PATs(must be accurate)
Dolphins Statistical Breakdown:
Jay  Feidler ~ 150 yards pass, 30 yards rush, 1 TD (rushing) & 1 int
Ricky Williams ~ 1 td, 130 yards rush, 20 yards rec
Travis Minor ~ 20 yards rushing
Rob Konrad ~ 10 yards receiving
Chris Chambers ~ 50 yards receiving
Derius Thompson ~ 20 yards receiving
James McKnight ~ 10 yards receiving
Randy McMichael ~ 40 yards receiving
Olindo Mare ~ 2 FGs & 2 PATs
FINAL SCORE
PATRIOTS 26
DOLPHINS 20
 provides New England with an early Christmas present. The AFC east title & with little help from the Broncos we could be tied with the Chiefs for the top spot in the NFL.

You've heard the term "our best defense is our offense." Well for the Pats it's the opposite of that. Our best offense is our defense. It wasn't pretty but, we got the job done. How many times have I said that? lol Well the New England Patriots now hold the top spot in the NFL. Certainly don't get to say that every week. If you like defense than the Pats-Phins game was your cup of tea. Our new punter got plenty of work on Sunday. So much so that they had Tom Brady attempt a very successful pooch punt late in the game that lead to a safety. Rodney Harrison was a monster out there. He provided us what Milloy hadn't been the last few seasons. Of course, Tedy Bruschi came up with the clincher by picking off Feidler & taking it to the house. Bruschi's last 4 ints have all been returned for TDs! With a 10 point lead the Pats were able to get some quality gains on the ground from Antowain Smith. Yes the same Smith that was inactive at Indy. The elements clearly played a role in the outcome, but that doesn't take away from the effort the Pats D displayed out there on the field.
