Dolphins Host Patriots in Key AFC East Matchup Featuring Tua Tagovailoa and Rookie Drake Maye

Miami seeks its third consecutive win, while New England aims to break a losing streak and improve its rebuilding season.

  • The Miami Dolphins (4-6) will face the New England Patriots (3-8) on Sunday, marking the first matchup between quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and rookie Drake Maye.
  • Miami has a chance to sweep New England in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1999-2000, with Tagovailoa holding a 6-0 career record against the Patriots.
  • The Patriots, in a rebuilding year, have struggled offensively, ranking near the bottom of the league in passing and red-zone efficiency.
  • Drake Maye has shown promise with his dual-threat ability, averaging 9.3 yards per rush, but the Dolphins' defense has excelled recently, holding opponents to under 100 rushing yards in four consecutive games.
  • Key injuries include Patriots defensive end Deatrich Wise (foot) and Dolphins cornerback Kendall Fuller (concussion), who is unlikely to play.
