Brady threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns - two to Julian Edelman - and the Patriots beat the Miami Dolphins 36-7 on Thursday night to become the first of the NFL's five unbeaten teams to reach seven wins. Stephen Gostkowski broke Adam Vinatieri's franchise record for consecutive field goals by connecting from 52 and 36 yards to make it 26 in a row. Rob Gronkowski had 113 yards receiving and a touchdown, and Dion Lewis had 93 yards receiving and one score.He finished with 112 total yards, including a 17-yard catch on third-and-16 to keep the first drive going. "If you're out there playing, you're expected to make plays," Lewis said.
"It's not simple," Brady said. "A lot of guys working really hard to be on the same page." Going into the game the dolphins knew they were in for challenge, but to Brady it was just another average game. "You have to play good football in all three phases when you play the New England Patriots. They've always been that way," Campbell said. It could be an even bigger loss for the Dolphins because four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake was carted off the field with an Achilles tendon injury. Campbell didn't have an update on the extent of the injury.
The Patriots are 7-0 for the second time in franchise history and first time since going 16-0 in 2007!They've scored at least 28 points in every game and 30 or more in six straight. A week after setting an NFL record with 25 straight completions, Ryan Tannehill had a rough night against New England. He threw two interceptions and no TDs. "We just couldn't get going," Tannehill said.While Brady and the offense had a slow start, New England's defense made sure they led the whole way by dominating Tannehill and shutting down Lamar Miller. He ran for just 15 yards on nine carries. "They've been hot. We knew we had to come out with a lot of energy on a short week and stop them before they got started," said Logan Ryan, who had one of the Patriots' picks. The Pats now looking to lock up the next win.
