FOXBOROUGH – Look at the bright side. The last time the New England Patriots started 0-2, they won the whole thing.
That’s about all the “bright side” you can come up with. The Patriots hung in as long as they could against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night at Gillette Stadium. But in the end, mistakes and not being able to make the winning plays when they had to doomed the home team. The Patriots did a nice job in containing Tyreek Hill, but too many other nameless Dolphins stepped up and helped to pull off a 24-17 win.
