Defending Patriots in Miami

5. Adam Butler – The third-year defensive tackle had a great game. In the first quarter, Butler sacked quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and in the second quarter he managed a pass. Later in the game, Butler added another bag to his stats line. It was a great day for Butler.

6. Phillip Dorsett – Until now, Dorsett has made the jump this season. After completing his first game with multiple touchdowns in the first week, Dorsett went on with a three-take play for 39 yards. The figures may not stand out, but the Dorsett catch is important. He was also reliable and caught every ball that Brady launched.

1. Injuries – Isaiah Wynn left the game in the Patriots' second offensive attack due to a foot injury. After spending time in the blue medical tent, Wynn went to the locker room and was ruled out for the match. Marshall Newhouse, who started the attack on the right, moved to the left to replace Wynn. Korey Cunningham took the start on the right. In the second half, Patrick Chung suffered an injury to his groin. He spent time in the medical tent and returned to the game. Matt LaCosse appears to have been injured in his lower body. LaCosse played through, but his limp was apparent. James Develin spent time in the blue medical tent, but was able to return.

2. Stephen Gostkowski – It was a hard day for the kicker since he missed a 48-yard pitch in the second quarter. Later in the game, he missed two more points.
