New England opened its 2021 season with a Sept. 12 loss at Miami and went 10-7 on the season. However, the Patriots likely underplayed their scoring profile. New England was 6th in the NFL in scoring (27.2 points per game) and 2nd in scoring defense (17.8 PPG).
The Dolphins went 9-8 in a 2021 season that included a long losing streak up front (7 straight losses from Sept. 19-Oct. 31) and a protracted win streak down the stretch (7 straight wins from Nov. 7-Dec. 27). Miami’s pass defense was decimated for 291.1 yards per game through 8 games but held foes to just 171.3 yards per contest through the final 9 games.
