"The New England Patriots evened their 2025 record at 1-1 after beating the Miami Dolphins in a nail-biter, 33-27. It was a rollercoaster ride for Mike Vrabel's new squad as they finally prevailed in Miami over a pesky Dolphins team quarterbacked by Tua Tagovailoa, who's Kryptonite to the Patriots. This was a game marred by more than 20 penalties, including a whopping 11 by the Patriots, a statistic that must have left Head Coach Mike Vrabel thrilled."
"Conversely, there were also some nice positives for the Patriots. The first is always coming away with that win. They avoided a 0-2 start, and that was critical. In addition, some individual players excelled. On offense, quarterback Drake Maye was superb. Maye completed 82.6 percent of his passes (19/23) for 230 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and ran for another."
