Despite coming out of a mini-bye, the New England Patriots are battered and bruised heading into their Week 8 contest with the Miami Dolphins. And yet, the team of head coach Mike Vrabel has a real chance to come away as winners: at 4-3, it has performed significantly better thus far this year than its 1-5 opponent.
While season-long records mean little come kickoff, the Patriots are still the more talented team overall even with several starters missing the game on the offensive side of the ball. Nonetheless, as long as Drake Maye remains under center, the team should be able to put pressure on its opponent and compete for a chance to retain a spotless record against the AFC East this year: New England won its first two division games, and is now looking to improve to 3-0.
