Dolphins, Patriots Set for AFC East Clash

The Miami Dolphins host the New England Patriots on Sunday after earning their first win of the season, a 28-25 victory over the Jets. Coach Jeff Hafley is stressing the importance of divisional games to Miami’s young roster, while Patriots coach Mike Vrabel praised the Dolphins’ effort and improvement. The game reunites Vrabel with quarterback Malik Willis, whom he coached in Tennessee and who had three total touchdowns against the Jets. Miami starting left guard Kadyn Proctor remains in concussion protocol and may miss the game; cornerback JuJu Brents has returned to practice in a non-contact jersey. New England is favored by more than a touchdown, and hot, humid weather with a chance of thunderstorms is forecast in Miami.
