Patriots: Dolphins end Pats’ playoff hopes with ugly win
John McCall/Sun Sentinel For the first time since 2008, the Patriots will not be part of the NFL postseason.

Patriots: Patriots trade for Isaiah Ford could be a sneaky good pick up
Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots have made a trade. New England traded a seventh round pick to the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday for wide receiver Isaiah Ford.
