Dolphins roll over Patriots and lead 24-0 at halftime

The Dolphins are well on their way to a third straight victory.

After punting on their first possession in Sunday’s home game against the Patriots, the Dolphins’ offense caught fire. They picked up 262 yards on their final four possessions of the half and ended all four by taking points off the board.

The Patriots haven’t had much success on offense and are 24-0.

Tua Tagovailoa hit tight end Jonnu Smith for the first touchdown and then connected with running back De’Von Achane for the next two. The Dolphins drove back inside the Patriots’ 5-yard line on their final drive, but two incompletions in the end zone led to a Jason Sanders field goal.

Tagovailoa is 20 of 27 for 247 yards and the Dolphins defense has sacked Drake Maye twice. The Patriots have also committed seven penalties for 45 yards and that hasn’t helped close the obvious talent gap between the two teams.
