The New England Patriots hope the second time will be the charm when opening up the doors of Gillette Stadium for a second straight week in Sunday’s clash with the visiting Miami Dolphins.
An offensive explosion fueled the Dolphins in a 36-34 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2. Dolphins Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 466 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
That’s usually what happens when a team has a talented quarterback and two game-breakers on the outside at receiver with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
This AFC East divisional matchup poses a big problem for the Patriots, who nearly upset the Philadelphia Eagles in a 25-20 loss in the regular season opener.
Will they be able to close the deal against the Dolphins? Here’s the full round-up of Patriots Wire staff picks for the Week 2 matchup:
Jordy McElroy (0-1) – Dolphins 27, Patriots 30
Danny Jaillet (1-0) – Dolphins 34, Patriots 27
Cam Garrity (1-0) – Dolphins 23, Patriots 31
Michael Braithwaite (0-1) – Dolphins 27, Patriots 31
What are your thoughts on Sunday’s game? Will the Patriots bounce back after the loss to the Eagles? Can they ground the Dolphins’ high-flying offense?
