It’s only the second week in a 17-game season, but it nevertheless feels like a critical spot for Mike Vrabel and the Patriots.
New England travels to face the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Patriots do so having suffered an underwhelming loss in their season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fortunately for New England, no team in the league had a worse Week 1 opener than Mike McDaniels and the Dolphins.
With that, whichever team suffers a divisional round loss in South Beach undoubtedly will leave feeling the heat.
