The Pats committed 12 penalties for 105 yards while Jacoby Brissett had just 160 yards on an 18-34 clip….

Top 5 match-ups in the Dolphins, Patriots game
The Dolphins visit the Patriots today and there are several key match-ups that will determine the outcome of this game.
Here are the five match ups to watch today.
Tyreek Hill vs. Jonathan Jones: It is always a good match-up when these two go head to head. Jones has held his own against Hill in recent years and I would expect more of the same this week. Do not expect the Patriots to help Jones much so he will have Jones in man coverage a lot in this game.
