"New England's defense is No. 7 in the league in total defense (302.4 yards allowed per game), No. 5 in points allowed (19.5 per game), tied for No. 7 against the run (104.1 yards allowed per game), and No. 10 against the pass (198.3 ypg). Ewers (39 of 60, 485 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, 87.2 passer rating) has been calm and composed in his previous two starts, compiling a 1-1 record."
"The Dolphins aren't a good road team, and late-season road games present an even bigger challenge. Miami is 3-10 under McDaniel in December and January road games, including an 0-2 playoff record. The breakdown: Miami is 3-6 in December road games, including 1-1 this season, and 0-4 in January road games. New England, of course, is a January road game."
The Miami Dolphins (7-9) are guaranteed a second consecutive losing season and seek a win to avoid posting their worst record under coach Mike McDaniel. The New England Patriots (13-3) are 10-point favorites and previously beat Miami 33-27. New England ranks among the NFL leaders in total defense, points allowed, run defense and pass defense. Rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers has shown composure in two starts (39 of 60, 485 yards, two TDs, two INTs, 87.2 rating) and faces the toughest test of his season. Miami's poor late-season road history adds to the challenge.
