The Miami Dolphins will be taking on the New England Patriots for an AFC East showdown on Sunday Night Football. The Dolphins are coming off an exciting win against the Los Angeles Chargers while the Patriots had a tough loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. This should be a tough test for the Dolphins offense as the Patriots caused plenty of issues for the Eagles last week. As long as Bill Belichick is in New England, the Patriots will always be tough opponent.
