41-14

The hallmark of the Pariots championship teams was their ability to turn the tide of a game with an important play on special teams.

That magic returned last night as the Pats scored touchdowns on a kickoff return by Brandon Tate and on a blocked field goal by Kyle Arrington on their way to an impressive 41-14 victory over the Dolphins in Miami.

The special teams combined with a big effort from the defense to land the Patriots a key road divisional win. Patrick Chung blocked a punt, blocked a field goal, and returned an interception for a touchdown. Rob Nincovich had two interceptions and also recorded a sack. The young secondary did a great job limiting the impact of Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall.

The Patriots enter their bye week at 3-1 and have two weeks to prepare to host the Baltimore Ravens in a potential preview of the AFC Championship Game.
