Studs and duds in Patriots’ crushing 24-17 loss to Dolphins

Who were the studs and duds in the Patriots’ loss to the Dolphins?

Like last week, the New England Patriots had a chance to crash the party for a more talented team in the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. Instead, it ended in heartbreak and disappointment once again for New England.

For a second consecutive week, they blew an opportunity for a comeback victory late in the fourth quarter.

An attempted lateral pass to offensive guard Cole Strange was caught but ruled short of the sticks on a fourth down that ultimately ended the game for the Patriots. With the loss, the Patriots are now 0-2 on the season and dead last in the AFC East division.
