Patriots at Dolphins score: Live updates, game stats, highlights, analysis for

The Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots have one half of football in the books. As these two AFC East rivals went into the locker room at the half, Miami held the double-digit lead largely thanks to the stellar play by Mike McDaniel’s defense. On top of shutting out the Patriots offense, they were able to force two turnovers on second-year quarterback Mac Jones, including a strip-sack fumble that was recovered for a touchdown.
