A win Sunday against the Miami Dolphins would lock up the No. 1 seed in the AFC for the New England Patriots.
That might prove to be a tough task, though, as the Pats have struggled recently at Hard Rock Stadium, including last season’s 20-10 loss in Week 17. The Dolphins have plenty to play for, as they can clinch the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs with a win and a loss by the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Patriots will need a strong game from running back LeGarrette Blount in order to offset the Dolphin’s front seven.
