Besides the 3 point win to Atlanta early in the season , Miami hasn’t had a meaningful victory all season.
- They lost in London to NO 20-0
- They lost on primetime to BAL 40-0
- They lost on primetime to CAR 45-21
- They lost to their most hated rival 35-17
The Dolphins obviously aren’t a great team, but the common denominator in all those games above is that none of them were at home. Bad and average teams perform much better in their own stadium.
Dolphins games at home this year?
- 6 point win to titans
- 3 point win to jets
- 3 point loss to raiders
- 10 point loss to Bucs
- 26 point win to Broncos
Of course, the Pats are in an entirely different league than those teams above, and Brady has the best win percentage of any QB ever on primetime - but few things going against him in this matchup. Most importantly the loss of Gronkowski.
Brady’s thrown more touchdowns to Gronk than any other player through his career as he is his favorite red zone target. The last time gronk missed a game, the Pats scored 19 points on the road including 1 touchdown and 4 field goals to the Bucs. When the Pats beat Miami two weeks ago, he went off for 82 yards and 2 TD catches. Why is Gronk so important to the offense this year? Because Brady’s #1 target Edelman is already out for the season.
