Overview
- The Patriots rallied to beat the Miami Dolphins 24-19 in a come-from-behind win in Miami on Sunday after a scoreless second-half turnaround by New England.
- Drake Maye finished 16-of-20 for 199 yards with two passing touchdowns and a two-yard rushing TD, extending his streak to five straight games with at least three total touchdowns.
- Veteran safety Kevin Byard recorded his first interception as a Patriot in the fourth quarter, and the defense finished with five sacks and limited Miami to 74 rushing yards to swing momentum.
- New England played with a depleted receiving corps and other absences, entering the game with just three healthy wide receivers and losing tight end Hunter Henry to a foot issue during the contest.
- The victory moves the Patriots to 5-3 but leaves questions about sustainability because of injuries and a difficult upcoming slate, with front-office decisions before the Nov. 10 trade deadline likely to shape the team’s depth and outlook.
