The New England Patriots will play their second straight AFC East Divisional game this week when they travel to Miami to face the Dolphins. The Patriots hosted Buffalo last week and prevailed with a 29-25 victory when QB Mac Jones connected with TE Mike Gesicki on a 1-yard touchdown pass with 12 seconds left in the game.
This week's game will be the second meeting in 2023 between the two teams. The Patriots lost to Miami at Gillette Stadium, 24-17, on Sept. 17. The game will feature the Patriots 9th ranked defense against Miami's top-ranked offense.

SERIES HISTORY​

The New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins will square off for the second time in 2023 on Sunday. Miami beat New England, 24-17, at Gillette Stadium on Sept. 17. The two teams split the series in 2022, with the Patriots losing on opening day at Miami, 20-7, on Sept. 11, and then getting revenge with a 23-21 win at Gillette Stadium on Jan. 1.

While New England has the upper hand in home games against Miami, New England is just 17-41 in games played in Miami, including losses in their last three visits to Hard Rock Stadium. The Patriots last win in Miami was a 43-0 victory on Sept. 15, 2019.

The Dolphins and Patriots met for the first time in 1966 and began playing twice a year during the 1967 regular season, except in 1982 during a players' strike.

Whatever happens happens. I'd like to look like a competent football team again like last week. That's all I ask!

Our record in Miami is horrible - 17-41 (Incl. 1-1 in playoffs)

NOTHING will ever top what happened in 1980 at the Orange Bowl

On the contrary, my friend. NOTHING will ever top what happened on January 12, 1986 at the Orange Bowl. That was the day I became a Patriots fan for life.

To this day, it is the biggest game the Patriots have ever played in Miami - and they WON. How many of those 41 wins would Miami fans trade to have that ONE in the win column? There are Dolphins fans even today who like to think Marino and his crew could have beaten Chicago in the Super Bowl that year, but the Patriots kicked the snot out of them and killed their Super Bowl dream and it was glorious.

As an aside, my wife and I initially bonded over our love of the Patriots. Had I not fallen in love with the Patriots that January day, I would never have even met and fallen in love with her.

Squish the Fish.

Some friends of my sister bought seats on the 50 yard line right behind the Dolphins' bench. Sister is pea green with envy, the Fish are her favorite team

I feel like Tua only has two modes: Elite 400 yard performance or guy who skips a 10 yard pass

I don't understand why we do that

Offensive line is finally healthy, Mac is finally starting to look confident, so what does BOB call? Nonstop interior runs from Zeke.

Also, Zeke fumbles the ball and luckily we keep it, and they hand it right to him the very next play. If that was Pop or Boutte fumbling on an open field tackle they'd be on the bench for 2 weeks
